Applied Health Sciences (AHS) continued its work in creating new conversations around cannabis use in Canada by hosting a public lecture on the topic by the Honourable Anne McLellan this past May.
McLellan is the former Minister of Justice and current head of the Task Force on Cannabis Legalization and Regulation.
The lecture was followed by a panel discussion moderated by Professor David Hammond and featured panelists Liana Nolan, Waterloo Medical Officer of Health; Jonathan Zaid, undergraduate student and advocate for medical marijuana; and Professor Chris Perlman, whose research focuses on mental health and addictions.
The event kicked off AHS’s year of celebration marking the Faculty’s 50th and the School of Public Health and Health Systems' 40th anniversaries.
