The Canadian Public Health Association and the Manitoba Public Health Association will hold a public forum on health, fairness and human rights focusing on the H1N1 influenza outbreak, the recession and world-wide health inequalities.

The session will be held June 8 at the Winnipeg Convention Centre, Rooms 3 & 4, first floor. It starts at 7 p.m. in conjunction with the CPHA national conference.

It will be moderated by Manitoba’s chief public health officer, Dr. Joel Kettner.

Journalist André Picard will give a short address on how the media, government and public health officials have responded to the three global ‘pandemics’.

The program calls for CPHA delegates and the public to discuss the issues with Manitoba Health Minister Theresa Oswald, Manitoba Human Rights Commission executive director Dianna Scarth, Business Council of Manitoba president Jim Carr and former University of Manitoba president Arnold Naimark.
