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).

Presbyterian Church U.S.A. to allow gay and lesbian clergy The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) on Tuesday voted to allow the ordination of openly gay and lesbian ministers. The church put the vote to its 173 presbyteries, or governing bodies, nationwide. On Tuesday, the Twin Citites Area presbytery, which covers Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, became the 87th presbytery — and the deciding vote — to approve an amendment that will remove the constitutional requirement that all ministers, elders and deacons live in “fidelity within the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman or chastity in singleness.” The change, which opens up the possibility that people in same-sex relationships can be considered for ordination, is expected to take effect starting on July 10. It is the latest move by a Protestant denomination toward the inclusion of gay and lesbian clergy. “I see this as an opportunity to build a stronger church. Faithful and qualified lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Pr

The Famous Christian Village in Accra

The Famous Christian Village in Accra Written by: Prince Kweku This famous ‘village’ with a population of almost two thousand is sandwiched between the University of Ghana, Legon and the Achimota Secondary School. Its location is four minutes’ drive from the Legon campus. The inhabitants are predominantly Ewes. The young men are mainly golf caddies while the women are engaged in a variety of activities to support their husbands and family. Interestingly, most of the inhabitants come from Adangbe in Togo which is two hours’ drive from the Aflao border. Recently, there have been huge migrations of Nigerians who are there for several reasons. The ‘illage’ is between Kisseiman and Dome, all suburbs of Accra. Although the village is associated with Christians, the behavior and attitude of the people do not conform to Christian standards. This famous village is known as the “Christian Village.” Let me proceed to justify the position I take that the village does not befit its
