NEW PROJECT

CEHE receives funding for knowledge translation in children's environmental health equity

We are very excited to announce our new project to address children's environmental health inequities in urban settings.

Working with the Canadian Partnership for Children's Health and the Environment (CPCHE), and the Canadian Environmental Law Association (CELA), we will host a national training program to support collaborative research and action among research, policy, and community leaders. 

Our goal is to support diverse knowledge exchange and the bridging of sectoral divides in order to better understand and respond to community needs to address children's environmental health inequities. This project is being funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.

Why are we doing this project? 
Children, in general, are at greater risk from environmental hazards than adults due to their behaviour, physiology, and physical size. Yet, we know that low-income children face a disproportionate burden of environmental health risks in Canada as a result of their marginalized social position  (... read more).
