Why This Conference?

One of the most pervasive and debilitating effects of poverty globally
is ill health. There is an inextricable link between income inequality
and barriers to healthcare that can be easily seen here in BC, across
Canada and internationally. A group of organizers has put this
conference together to commemorate the grassroot struggle for better,
more accessible health care. We also hope to deepen our analysis of
issues and current practices by health providers and administrators that
serve to further oppression.
Please join us at this conference to discuss how these issues affect our
lives as individuals, and as a community.

Everyone welcome! Food will be provided.
Childcare is available - please contact organizers to confirm.
