Call for Abstract

Call for Abstracts

Each year, Health Promotion Ontario (HPO) provides a forum for students, practitioners and researchers to come together and discuss issues and ideas in and around the field of health promotion. This year’s conference will be in celebration of the 30th Anniversary of Health Promotion Ontario.

Come share your experiences, research, initiatives and ideas. This year’s conference theme invites presentations and workshops that:

  • Apply our Pan-Canadian Health Promoter Competencies* into action
  • Identify challenges, lessons learned and potential solutions for applying Pan-Canadian Health Promoter Competencies effectively
  • Provide opportunities for attendees to participate, build skills and network

*These competencies are designed to be relevant to all practitioners whose main role reflects the Ottawa Charter’s strategies and actions. This includes not only those working in public health-related governmental and non-governmental organizations, but also potentially to other health and non-health based organizations, including those that may not identify as a health promoter.
