A Healthy Society:

How a Focus on Health can Revive Canadian Democracy

Monday November 18, 7:30 pm
Grant Park in the Travel Alcove

Drawing on his experiences as a family physician in the inner city of Saskatoon, Mozambique, and rural Saskatchewan, Dr. Ryan Meili argues that health delivery too often focuses on treatment of immediate causes and ignores more fundamental conditions that lead to poor health. Income, education, employment, housing, the wider environment, and social supports: far more than health care, it is these conditions that make the greatest difference in our health. Brought to life by patient stories, A Healthy Society proposes a new approach to health, and to politics.

Ryan Meili is a family doctor at the West Side Community Clinic in Saskatoon. He heads the Division of Social Accountability for the University of Saskatchewan’s College of Medicine, helping to ensure that Saskatchewan’s future doctors are equipped to meet the health needs of the diverse communities they will serve. Ryan also serves as vice-chair of the national advocacy organization, Canadian Doctors for Medicare and is the founder of Upstream a new organization to equip and inspire citizens to demand a healthy society, and to understand the best ways to get there.

Every fall, LITE hosts the Annual Wild Blueberry Pancake Breakfast in the North End. The community partner-catered breakfast is a celebration of CED in Winnipeg’s inner city and is a highlight of the LITE campaign.

Apart from raising funds for LITE's fall campaign, this event brings together supporters and newcomers to LITE, while promoting and demonstrating CED in action. The Breakfast attracts up to 1000 people, including community members, business leaders, civil servants, students, community workers, MLAs and the Premier – all in support of LITE.

Local musicians, artists, and craftspeople (Arts & Crafts Sale) all earn income through the breakfast along with our caterer partners. A local Aboriginal worker’s co-op, Neechi Foods, is the grocer for the breakfast.

This year’s Breakfast is Friday, November 22nd from 7-10 am (come and go) at the Indian and Metis Friendship Centre (45 Robinson at Dufferin). Tickets are $15, $5 low income or children 6-12, children under 6 are free.

This year’s breakfast will include performances by:

• Al Simmons
• The Treble
• Norman Chief Memorial Dancers
• Dustin Harder
• Alexander McCowan
