Both the direct impacts of COVID-19 and the indirect effects from public health measures have demonstrated the interconnectedness of our health, our society and our economy. Our collective response demonstrates our capacity to create real and immediate change towards a future that supports the health and well-being of all Canadians.

This second conversation will provide an opportunity for participants to learn from select case studies about innovative interventions that have been implemented to address COVID-19 related-health inequities. It will highlight areas identified in the 2020 annual report of the chief public health officer of Canada for collaborative and cross-sectoral action that can better prepare Canadians for future public health emergencies.

Subsequent conversation topics and speakers will be chosen based on participants’ feedback and will be confirmed shortly.
