Dear Paov

Folks like you, who support Canadian public health, are an incredible group of people.

Already, we've raised half of what
we need to get to Ottawa to meet with the new government in January. Can you help us raise the second half, so we can make sure BC is represented during these important first meetings with the new MPs?

Even a few dollars makes a difference.

Click here to donate to make sure B.C. is at the table when public health leaders meet with Canada’s new health minister.


Thank you and happy holidays!

February 6 event


This year CAIA has an opportunity to have an information table at the Courtenay Film Festival on Saturday, February 6.
The idea would be to have 2 of our members at the table from 9am till around 5pm. If there are enough of us who could be at the table we could have a few shifts so that all of us could also see a few documentaries.

The Courtenay Film Festival has been around for many years. They show some of the best made Social Justice Documentaries. They get around 1,500 attendees each year. They have three venues where they show films and they have a bazaar area at their central location where numerous organizations are able to have tables with their information.

If there are enough of us to have a table we can organize a car pool so we can travel...
