3. EVENTS

a) The Edible City: Book Launch, Panel Presentations and Discussion (Toronto)
Wednesday, December 2, 2009
5:30 to 7pm
215 Spadina Avenue – 1st Floor Boardroom

Please join the Sustainability Network and Coach House Books as they host a lively conversation between three key contributors of The Edible City.

Wayne Roberts - Contributor, NOW Magazine and Coordinator of the Toronto Food Policy Council
Lorraine Johnson - Author of over 10 environmental and gardening books
Shawn Micallef - Senior Editor of Spacing, co-founder of [murmur] and Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD) instructor

About the book:

If a city is its people, and its people are what they eat, then shouldn't food play a larger role in our dialogue about how and where we live? The food of a metropolis is essential to its
character. Native plants, proximity to farmland, the locations of supermarkets, immigration and food-security concerns, how chefs are trained: how a city nourishes itself might say more than anything else about what kind of city it is.

With a cornucopia of essays on comestibles, The Edible City considers how one city eats. It includes dishes on peaches and poverty, on processing plants and public gardens, on rats and bees and bad restaurant service, on schnitzel and school lunches. There are incisive studies of food-safety policy, of feeding the poor, and of waste, and a happy tale about a hardy fig tree.

Together they form a saucy picture of how Toronto – and, by extension, every city –sustains itself, from growing basil on balconies to four-star restaurants. Dig into The Edible City and get the whole story, from field to fork.

Admission is $15 in advance/$20 at the door. Registration online at: http://sustainabilitynetwork.ca

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009
2 to 4pm, St Michael's Hospital

The POWER Study (Project for an Ontario Womens Evidence-Based Health Report) is producing a comprehensive provincial Report on womens health. The Report is designed to serve as an evidence-based tool to help policy makers, health care providers and consumers improve the health of, and reduce inequities among the women of Ontario.

The POWER Study reports on a broad set of measures that focus on women's health status, their access to health care services, the quality of the care they receive and the outcomes of that care. The report examines the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among diverse groups of women across the province and also across the continuum of care.

Cardiovascular Disease is a leading cause of mortality and a major cause of disability for Ontario women. This chapter focuses on the three major types of CVD that affect both women and men in the province: ischemic heart disease, heart failure and stroke. It provides information on the quality of life of women and men with CVD, indicators of quality of care and outcomes and wait times for cardiovascular procedures. In addition to the presentation of the POWER findings on cardiovascular disease, this event will provide an opportunity for networking and discussion of how findings can be used to promote women's health and health equity in the province.

To attend the launch in person or via webcast, please RSVP by December 4, to powerstudy@smh.toronto.on.ca or call 416-864-3041

4. RESOURCES

a) Planning by Design : A Healthy Communities Handbook

The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and the Ontario Professional Planners Institute have released this handbook to share and generate ideas on how places can be planned and designed more sustainably for healthy, active living and to retain and attract residents, investors and visitors. Rural and urban planning and design strategies, including land-use patterns, transportation networks, public spaces and natural systems, are all factors that can promote increased physical activity, psychological well being and healthier outcomes for all community members. Heart disease, asthma, diabetes, obesity, stroke, cancer, stress and depression are some of the serious health issues that are reducing community vitality and resiliency through productivity loss and increasing demands on public and private sector resources.

To read the handbook please visit www.ontarioplanners.on.ca

Copies of the handbook can also be obtained through the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing at www.ontario.ca/mah

b) Bringing Health to the Planning Table: A Profile of Promising Practices in Canada and Abroad

This report was produced by the Healthy Living Issue Group of the Pan-Canadian Public Health Network.

The report profiles case studies within 13 Canadian communities from across Canada where collaborative approaches to improve health outcomes have been a key consideration in planning decisions related to the built environment. This approach was chosen so that the successes (and lessons learned) of a variety of different projects could be shared with other communities. With one case study from each province and territory it provides a pan-Canadian perspective. Two international examples highlight similar work happening abroad.

Amener la santé à la table de planification - Un profil des pratiques prometteuses du Canada et de l’étranger

Ce rapport a été produit par le Groupe des modes de vie sains du Réseau pancanadien de santé publique.

Ce rapport établit le profil d’études de cas au sein de 13 communautés de partout au Canada et où les efforts de collaboration visant à améliorer les résultats en matière de santé ont été un élément essentiel pour la planification des décisions liées au milieu créé. Cette approche a été choisie afin que les succès (et les leçons tirées) d’un éventail de projets puissent être communiqués à d’autres communautés. En présentant une étude de cas de chaque province et territoire, le rapport présente un point de vue pancanadien. Deux exemples à l’échelle internationale mettent en évidence le travail semblable qui est effectué à l’étranger
