Hello,
We would like to invite you to join us for the CHNET and CLASP webinar "Bringing Health into the Transportation Planning Process" - a presentation of some of the work undertaken in British Columbia and Quebec through the Healthy Canada by Design CLASP initiative. Following the 2 hour webinar, we'll have an opportunity to spend half an hour discussing the implications for Winnipeg. We've had the opportunity to hear about this work in its earlier stages, and we're excited to hear about the most recent lessons learned and how they can be applied here!
Please feel free to bring your lunch as the webinar does fall over our lunch hour. We will also try to have some snacks. RSVPs are appreciated but not necessary. Please feel free to contact me at sprows@wrha.mb.ca or 204 962-0403. Enjoy the puddles (or more snow!) this weekend J
