Canadian Institutes of Health Research Grand Opening Of The Toronto-Based Institutes

October 12, 2001
1.00 p.m. - 4.00 p.m.
Pre-announcement

The Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the University of Toronto are delighted to announce the grand opening of the four Toronto-based Canadian Institutes of Health Research - the Institute of Aboriginal Peoples' Health (IAPH); the Institute of Population and Public Health (IPHH); the Institute of Human Development and Child & Youth Health (IHDCYH); and, the Institute of Genetics (IG) - beginning at 1.00 p.m. on Friday October 12, 2001 in the MacLeod Auditorium of the Medical Sciences Building, University of Toronto, 1 King's College Circle, Toronto.

IAPH, IPHH, IHDCYH and IG are four of the 13 "virtual" organizations announced by Health Minister Allan Rock and CIHR President Dr. Alan Bernstein in July, 2000. Each Institute supports and links researchers located in universities, hospitals and other research centres across Canada, and each is dedicated to a specific area of focus, thereby linking and supporting researchers pursuing common goals.

We are delighted that Dr. Alan Bernstein will be joined by Michael Bird, President of the American Public Health Association, at our opening celebrations. We will be posting more program information shortly; in the meantime mark the date in your calendar and plan to join us on October 12.

For more information, please contact Amanda Sherrington at (416) 484-6710 or by Email: asherrton@home.com
