Building Blocks of Healthy, Sustainable Communities
Recognizing and responding to the health impacts of our built environment is critical to
building healthy and sustainable communities in Canada. Our panelists will present research
linking the built environment (including land use, zoning, neighbourhood design, and
transportation infrastructure) to varied health outcomes. Practitioner and public health
perspectives will evaluate progress in adopting more thoughtful land use practices and
implementing infrastructure designs that take issues such as walkability, active
transportation, sustainability, air pollution, food access, crime, land values and legislation
into consideration to address various population and public health issues.

Healthy Networking 101
A healthy networking environment needs three things: cocktails, canapés and conversation. We’re providing the first two
– we just need you to start the conversations. Alumni and friends are invited to join Interim Dean Lory Laing and faculty,
students and staff of the School of Public Health for a healthy dose of discussion and idea sharing, and maybe some
laughs, too. Networking is good for you. Come get (re)connected with the University of Alberta’s School of Public Health.
