Canadian
Health Network at Risk of Closing
Another valuable information resource
is at risk of being shut down. The Canadian Health
Network is a comprehensive, essential resource to
foster health promotion, prevention and intervention
in Canada's well educated, health conscious population.
The Canadian government recently announced plans
to shut down the Canadian Health Network by the
end of March 2008. Along with many other organizations,
SALIS
wrote a letter to Canada's Minister of Health
to advocate for its continuation. Visit the Friends
of CHN website, http://www.friendsofCHN.ca
for an update and to sign the online petition.
