A Word from the President Hello and greetings from the city of Victoria on Vancouver Island in Canada where Fall is certainly in the air. Forecasters are predicting one of the coldest winters in decades, which should probably match nicely with the summer just past! In September, the Council of the IFEH met in Bali, Indonesia. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend. My grateful thanks go to Dr. Peter Davey, IFEH President-Elect for chairing the meeting in my absence and for his work in assisting with the planning, coordination and agenda development for the event. I would also like to recognise and thank our colleagues from the Indonesia Environmental Health Specialists Association (IEHSA) for kindly hosting the meeting and making such excellent arrangements. I am particularly pleased that the Council meeting coincided with the launch of the first International Summit of Environmental Health students, which took place at Udayana University in Kuta, Bali. This summit was extremely successful and has now laid the foundation for establishing a global federation of environmental health student associations. Many thanks to those persons who helped organise this outstanding event. Further information on both events is available in the IFEH October Newsletter and on our web site. Another first was the inaugural World Environmental Health Day, which was proclaimed and celebrated in Bali and will be held annually on 26th September. Congratulations to the our colleagues in the USA - the National Environmental Health Association ( NEHA), who were successful in their bid to Council to host the IFEH 13th World Congress on Environmental Health in 2014. While the venue is still to be decided, the Congress theme will be 'Environmental Health - Many Countries, One Community'. Another development at the Council meeting was the election of Rod House from the Royal Environmental Health Institute of Scotland (REHIS) as the Honorary Secretary replacing Ray Ellard of the Environmental Health Officers Association, Ireland who stepped down after five years in the position. I would like to thank Ray for his dedication to the Federation over the years and look forward 3
