Designed for a one-hour deep dive, this session provides stakeholders with a detailed perspective on the framework and its importance for Indigenous data governance in Ontario. A draft list of indicators to support the implementation of the framework will also be shared.

#Webinar Description:

How do we prevent falls in older adults without being overprotective? For those who are frail or approaching frailty, daily activities create risk for falls.  The term “dignity of risk” was introduced by Perske in 1972 who stated “in the past, we found clever ways to build avoidance of risk into the lives of persons living with disabilities. We have learned there can be crippling indignity in safety. Prioritizing safeguarding over the rights of individuals to independent decision-making is a limitation on personal freedom.

#About the presentation

In June 2023, BC Stats released a Guide on Using Categorical Race and Ethnicity Variables to support anti-racism research in British Columbia. This tool will help users of administrative and survey data to appropriately and consistently incorporate race and ethnicity variables into their projects. In this talk, Tatiana Kim discusses the challenges and lessons learned in the process of developing it as well as implications for research in British Columbia.

CPHA’s Normalizing Conversations project team has partnered with CAPSA to develop a workshop titled “Challenging Structural Substance Use Stigma” for health and social service providers. Over the last few months, CPHA and CAPSA have worked with community partners across Canada to pilot this workshop online. We are excited to invite those in the Ottawa area to attend our first in-person session!
