Bullfrog Power<br />
The CPHA 2012 Annual Conference is<br />
bullfrogpowered with 100% green electricity. This<br />
means that Bullfrog Power will inject Alberta-made wind<br />
power onto the Alberta grid to match the amount of<br />
electricity used by the Conference. All of the electricity<br />
injected on our behalf will be sourced from wind facilities that<br />
have been certified as low impact by Environment Canada.<br />
Choosing green, carbon-free power is an easy way for homes,<br />
businesses and organizations to help fight climate change and<br />
create a healthier environment for future generations. We invite<br />
all of you to visit Bullfrog Power on the web at www.bullfrogpower.com.<br />
Shaw Conference Centre<br />
The SCC is a partner in FRESH, an innovative program that supports<br />
conference and meeting planners in creating unique Edmonton experiences<br />
that are environmentally, socially and economically responsible. CPHA will<br />
complete the ECO Report Card following the conference to acquire<br />
quantitative measurements of the event’s environmental impact. The tool<br />
will allow us to self-assess and compare year-to-year scores so that the<br />
environmental impact of the Conference can be documented effectively.<br />
This will help us plan and promote sustainable thinking and comprehensive<br />
practices.<br />
Core Competencies<br />
CPHA is committed to strengthening the public health workforce, building capacity and enhancing professionalism.<br />
The Core Competencies, developed by the <strong>Public</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Agency of Canada, provide the building blocks for effective<br />
public health practice and the use of an overall public health approach. The core competency statements are not<br />
designed to stand alone, but rather to form a set of knowledge, skills and attitudes practiced within the larger<br />
context of the values of public health.<br />
The 36 Core Competencies are organized under seven categories. To assist conference delegates in selecting<br />
conference sessions of interest that will also enhance their professional development, presenters have been asked to<br />
select the Core Competency category that is most applicable to their session and these are represented in this<br />
program using the related icon:<br />
<strong>Public</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Assessment Policy and Partnerships, Diversity Communication Leadership<br />
Sciences and Analysis <strong>Program</strong> Planning, Collaboration and<br />
Implementation and Advocacy Inclusiveness<br />
and Evaluation<br />
More information on the Core Competencies is available at www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/php-psp/ccph-cesp/stmts-enon-eng.php.<br />
