Migration governance in the Americas: A shared vision

Across the Americas substantial and spontaneous migration persists thus resulting in increased and varied challenges for policy-makers and civil society. Across the Americas there are several bilateral/binational migration agreements on such issues as temporary labour mobility, international students, border security, asylum governance, refugee resettlement, credential recognition and others. But divergent national interests and domestic political considerations have made it increasingly difficult to secure multi-nation cooperation on migration between immigrant sending and receiving countries.  It is nonetheless imperative to identify the converging or shared elements of a broader Americas vision if we’re to effectively meet the many and varied challenges ahead. With a focus on the best means for fostering cooperation on migration across the Americas this edition of Metropolis Americas invites policy-makers, researchers and civil society to submit proposals for workshops and round tables on the following topics

Dismantling Hate: A Journey Toward Inclusion – Day 2

In recognition of the International Human Rights Day, we will host a two-day hybrid event that aims to combat hate, promote inclusion, and foster understanding among diverse communities. The event will feature a combination of educational sessions, interactive activities, and community showcases. The event will include a combination of panel discussions, keynote addresses and a documentary film screening on real life incidents and experiences of hate and racism in Canada.

Day one of the event will be held online, leveraging our platform to reach a broader audience across multiple provinces. Day two will be held in-person in Vancouver, offering a more intimate and engaging experience for participants, with the option for virtual participants to dial in on day two. This hybrid approach ensures consistent, high-quality event delivery to diverse communities across Canada.

According to Public Safety Canada, Canada continues to experience high rates of community tension, hate crimes, and violence in both global and domestic contexts. Police-reported hate crimes increased by 7%, from 3,355 incidents in 2021 to 3,576 in 2022, following a 72% increase between 2019 and 2021. These incidents, which primarily target Muslim, Jewish, and Black populations, remain above the ten-year average

Achieving Equitable Vaccinations for Newcomer Families

As seen with the COVID-19 global pandemic, vaccine access can be difficult among the most vulnerable populations in Canada. This includes the experiences of newcomers, both immigrants and refugees. Many barriers and accessibility challenges can potentially exist for newcomer families.

Recognition and appropriate steps to vaccine access strategy development must be explored to ensure equitable measures are available to reduce the gap to vaccine access. Join us on Dec. 11, 2024 from 1-2pm EST as we discuss methods to reducing barriers to accessing healthcare services among newcomer children and families in Canada.

The following learning objectives will be examined:

-          Explore the accessibility barriers that exist for vaccinations services among newcomer families

-          Gain knowledge and insight on strategy development to reduce barriers to vaccine services for newcomers.

-          Assess the work that can be done by healthcare professionals in one’s own practice when working with newcomer families

Speakers:

-          Dr. Cora Constantinescu, Pediatric Infectious Disease, Clinical Associate Professor, University of Calgary;

La réduction des méfaits est essentielle pour sauver des vies et bâtir des collectivités plus en santé — Notre déclaration sur la Loi de l’Ontario visant à accroître la sécurité dans les rues et à renforcer les collectivités

Date: 
le Lundi 9 Décembre 2024

Le 4 décembre, le gouvernement de l’Ontario a adopté la Loi visant à accroître la sécurité dans les rues et à renforcer les collectivités. Cette loi entraînera la fermeture permanente de services vitaux de consommation supervisée dans des collectivités partout en Ontario. En même temps, le gouvernement retire de son nouveau modèle de soins des outils essentiels pour la réduction des méfaits, qui aident à sauver des vies, à garder les seringues usagées hors de nos rues et à permettre aux gens d’accéder aux services de santé mentale et de toxicomanie.

L’Alliance pour des communautés en santé et ses membres du secteur des soins de santé primaires sont déçus de cette orientation politique. Des experts en soins de santé ainsi que le vérificateur général de l’Ontario sont d’accord : cette approche entraînera une augmentation des pertes de vie. Selon sa propre analyse, le ministère ontarien de la Santé prévoit que la nouvelle politique du gouvernement engendrera une hausse significative du nombre de décès et d’hospitalisations dus à des surdoses, un plus grand nombre de seringues jetées dans les lieux publics, une augmentation de la consommation de drogues en public, une hausse de l’utilisation des services d’urgence, ainsi qu’une pression accrue sur notre système de santé et sur nos services d’urgence. 

Il ne fait aucun doute que nous devons faire davantage en Ontario pour combattre l’escalade de la crise des drogues et de ses répercussions sur les individus et les collectivités. Nous voulons collaborer avec le premier ministre Ford, la ministre Jones et d’autres membres du gouvernement afin d’améliorer la qualité de vie des Ontariens souffrant de maladie mentale ou de dépendance. Mais pour que ce travail collectif soit véritablement couronné de succès et transformateur, les Ontariens doivent avoir accès à plus de services, incluant des outils de réduction des méfaits.

Le modèle de « Carrefours d’aide aux sans-abri et de lutte contre les dépendances » proposé par le gouvernement est prometteur pour aider à régler la crise. Cependant, ce modèle doit inclure l’ensemble du continuum des services de traitement de la toxicomanie, notamment la réduction des méfaits, les services de consommation supervisée, ainsi que la sensibilisation dans la rue. Ainsi, il sera possible d’atteindre les objectifs visant à sauver des vies et à améliorer la sécurité des collectivités. L’Alliance demande au gouvernement d’augmenter le nombre de carrefours proposés dans le cadre du nouveau programme et d’élargir les services qu’ils offrent. 

Pour faire face à l’ampleur de la crise des drogues toxiques en Ontario, nous devons avoir recours à des approches et des outils éprouvés et fondés sur des données probantes, faute de quoi nous serons voués à l’échec. Il n’est pas trop tard pour que le gouvernement adopte une approche empreinte de compassion et réaliste afin d’aider les Ontariennes et Ontariens ayant un problème de dépendance. La vie et les collectivités des Ontariens en dépendent.

Harm reduction is vital to save lives and build healthier communities -- Our statement on Ontario's Safer Streets Stronger Communities Act

Alliance graphic with rainbow asterisk logo that reads: Compassion and harm reduction are proven, evidence-informed approaches to save lives, connect people, and build healthier communities.
Date: 
le Lundi 9 Décembre 2024

On December 4, the Government of Ontario passed the Safer Streets Stronger Communities Act, legislation that will permanently close vital supervised consumption services in communities across Ontario. At the same time, the government is removing critical harm reduction tools from its new model of care that help save lives, keep used needles off our streets, and allow people to access mental health and addictions services.

The Alliance for Healthier Communities and our primary health care members are disappointed with this policy direction. Health care experts and Ontario’s Auditor General agree: this approach will lead to increased loss of life. According to the Ontario Ministry of Health’s own analysis, the government’s new policy will lead to: significantly increased overdose deaths and hospitalizations, more discarded needles in community spaces, increased public drug use, increased emergency department usage, and increased overall pressure on our health system and emergency services. 

There is no question more must be done in Ontario to combat the escalating drug crisis and its impacts on people and communities. We are eager to work with Premier Ford, Minister Jones and other leaders in the government to improve the lives of Ontarians battling mental illness and addiction. But for our collective work to be successful and truly transformational, Ontarians must have access to more services, including harm reduction tools.

The government’s proposed Homelessness and Addiction Recovery Treatment (HART) Hub model holds promise to help address the crisis. However, this model must include the full continuum of addiction services, including harm reduction, supervised consumption services, and street outreach, in order to succeed in its goals of saving lives and improving community safety. The Alliance calls on the government to increase the number of Hubs offered in the new program and expand the services offered within them. 

To meet the scale of Ontario’s toxic drug crisis, we cannot cut off proven, evidence-based approaches and tools. If we do so, we are setting them up to fail. It is not too late for the government to take a compassionate, practical approach to help Ontarians battling addiction, and to succeed where others have failed. Ontarians’ lives and communities are depending on it.

Les déterminants de la santé et les possibilités de mesures de santé publique : Parlons-en

Quels sont les facteurs qui influencent la santé? Et quelles sont les possibilités de mesures de santé publique intégrées et en réseau à plusieurs niveaux?  

Dans ce webinaire, les auteurs de Déterminants de la santé : Parlons-en décriront les déterminants structurels, sociaux et écologiques de la santé et réfléchiront aux forces et aux systèmes plus larges qui interagissent avec les conditions de la vie quotidienne. Une métaphore arborescente sera utilisée pour véhiculer ces termes et passer de la compréhension à la réflexion, puis à l’application de pratiques pour s’attaquer aux facteurs sous-jacents des iniquités en santé.

Let’s talk determinants of health and opportunities for public health action

This webinar is presented by the National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health as part of their "Let's Talk" series.

What are the factors that influence health? And, what are the opportunities for integrated, networked public health action at multiple levels?  

In this webinar, the authors of Let's Talk: Determinants of health will describe the structural, social and ecological determinants of health and reflect on the wider forces and systems that interact with the conditions of daily life to create health inequities. A tree metaphor will be used to convey these terms and move from understanding to reflection to application of practices to address the underlying drivers of health inequities.
