Past Events

The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, also known informally as White Ribbon Day, is a day commemorated in Canada each December 6, the anniversary of the 1989 École Polytechnique massacre, in which fourteen women were murdered and ten others injured in the name of "fighting feminism". Each December 6th, The University of Guelph School of Engineering commemorates this event through the themes of Remember, Reflect, Respond.

Dr. Natalia Cediel Becerra, Associate Professor and Researcher at Universidad de La Salle (Colombia), will speak on mapping One Health (OH) initiatives and stakeholders in Latin America. It is a key first step in the Pan American Health Organization’s (PAHO) One Health policy. International agencies such as PAHO and the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) have strengthened the capacity of many countries around the prevention of zoonoses for more than 6 decades, creating a good baseline for OH implementation.
