The People vs. Cancer - Stephen Lewis
Tuesday, March 16, 2010
Western's Faculty of Health Sciences, the Schulich Medicine & Dentistry and London Regional Cancer Program are proud to host the "The People vs. Cancer" Ontario Speaking Tour with Stephen Lewis, Wednesday, March 31, 4 to 6 p.m., Alumni Hall. Developed by the Campaign to Control Cancer, this event is travelling to five Ontario universities where Stephen Lewis will bring a global health activist point of view to the challenge of engaging Canadian universities and students in shaping and supporting a new response to controlling cancer.
During this free event, Lewis will speak on the transformational role that an engaged public can play and the social action process that promotes the participation of everyday people in gaining control over their lives and wellbeing, drawing on “lessons learned” in the global movement against HIV/AIDS. Canadian universities and students will be challenged to bring forward their skills, innovation, creativity and leadership to the challenge of significantly reducing cancer rates in one generation. He will also be advancing the C2CC campaign effort to have cancer control included in discussions at the G8/G20 meetings to be hosted by Prime Minister Harper in June 2010 in Toronto.
