Researchers from the University of Waterloo and practitioners in public health will host a community discussion on the wellbeing of Ontarians Wednesday evening.
The Canadian Index of Wellbeing (CIW), based at Waterloo, organized the event as part of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research’s Café Scientifique series. The series seeks to bring health researchers and community members together to discuss health-related issues.
The event follows the release of How are Ontarians Really Doing, the CIW's first provincial report. Among the topics of discussion: GDP in Ontario has grown almost four times more than overall wellbeing over a 17-year period.
Craig Norris, host of The Morning Edition on CBC Radio, will moderate. Panelists include Professor Susan Elliott, Dean of the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences; Bruce Laukner, Chief Executive Officer for the Waterloo Wellington Local Health Integration Network; and Denise Squire, Executive Director of the Woolwich Community Health Centre.
