Message from the CHRD Chair
“We have the privilege of welcoming experts from across Canada to join us to cover a range of topics from air pollution to
food security to environmental racism.”
Dr. Andrew Halayko
CHRD Chair, Children’s Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba
We are thrilled to be hosting the 21 st annual Child Health Research Days (CHRD) this coming October! The theme of Roots, Breath & Belonging: The Impacts of Climate Change on Child Health will cover a broad range of topics relating to climate change and how it is shaping the health of children and families, as well as our research. This year’s conference will be hosted at the Leaf, in Assiniboine Park. This venue matches the theme surrounding climate change perfectly.
We have the privilege of welcoming experts from across Canada to join us to cover a range of topics from air pollution to food security to environmental racism. While we will hear about the negative impacts of climate change on health, during our closing panel presentation we hope to share some positive outlooks on what we can do to improve the trajectory of the environment and its impact on human health.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and everyone at CHRIM, I want to thank you for your participation and enthusiasm for this exciting event. This conference is only a small reflection of how hard our entire community of researchers, labs, and teams work each day.
Thank you again for joining us, I look forward to seeing you there!
Dr. Andrew Halayko
