Share Your Experience with Your Colleagues!

The NCCHPP is looking for concrete examples of intersectoral partnerships to improve health and equity that were deployed in the context of budget cuts.

Take advantage of this opportunity to raise the profile of your work and inspire colleagues across Canada and beyond! We could highlight your experience on our website, our eBulletin, our social media or in one of our webinars.

Interested? All you have to do is fill out a questionnaire (5 questions) and send it back to us by no later than December 5, 2023.
