Whether you live in a walkable community with access to green space or in a car-dependent community close to pollution emitters can have an outsize influence on your health\u00a0outcomes, and maps closely with income and societal privilege. Addressing these kinds of environmental inequities, if done correctly, can provide health, environmental and\u00a0economic co-benefits. But, if we want healthier, cleaner and more equitable communities, we will need data-driven solutions. This talk will explain how nationally standardized\u00a0datasets are fueling a renaissance in environmental health research, how data can be used to identify environmental health inequities in Canadian cities and highlight tools that\u00a0public health professionals will be able to use to operationalize insights and address inequities in the built environment.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Jeffrey Brook
\nScientific Director and Nominated Principal Investigator<\/b><\/p>\n

Jeffrey Brook has 25 years of experience as an Environment Canada scientist working at the science-policy interface. During this\u00a0time he spent 15 years as faculty at the University of Toronto, where he was involved in research, lecturing and graduate student training. He is one of Canada\u2019s leading experts in\u00a0air quality, recognized at all levels of government and academically, including for his substantial contributions in air pollution health research. Dr. Brook has led scientific\u00a0assessments to inform policy nationally and internationally, and advised multi-stakeholder groups shaping policy. He has led a variety of multi-disciplinary research teams in\u00a0government, government-academic partnerships and in academia. Recently his efforts have expanded beyond air quality, for example for 8 years he has led the Environmental\u00a0Working Group of the Canadian Health Infant Longitudinal Development (CHILD) study and co-led the Gene x Environment Research Platform within the AllerGen Network of\u00a0Centres of Excellence.<\/p>\n

\"\"Eleanor Setton
\nManaging Director<\/strong><\/p>\n

As an A<\/b>djunct Associate Professor (2008- 2016), Eleanor most recently acted as Co-Director of the\u00a0Spatial Sciences Research Lab (SSRL) at the University of Victoria. This role involved managing the SSRL grants, staff, and students, and conducting a\u00a0range of research related to spatial aspects of exposure to environmental pollutants as a PI or Co-PI. Of particular value to CANUE is Dr. Setton\u2019s\u00a0expertise in population-level environmental exposure assessment; direct experience working with large spatial and tabular datasets related to land use,\u00a0pollutant emissions and socio-economic characteristics; and developing knowledge translation products about cancer and the environment.<\/p>\n

\"\"Dany Doiron
\nData <\/strong>Lin<\/strong><\/b>kage Lead and Special Projects Manage<\/strong>r<\/p>\n

Dany Doiron is a Research Associate at the Respiratory Epidemiology and Clinical Research Unit of the McGill University Health Centre in Montreal, Canada.\u00a0Dany has a Masters degree in Public Policy from Simon Fraser University, and a PhD in Epidemiology from the University of Basel. Prior to joining\u00a0CANUE, Dany worked with Maelstrom Research, helping epidemiological research consortia in Canada and Europe implement innovative solutions to\u00a0facilitate multi-centre data integration and co-analysis. Since 2016, Dany provides expertise in linking environmental data to confidential health\u00a0databases for CANUE. He currently acts as the Chief Operating Officer of the Canadian Cohort of Obstructive Lung Disease (CanCOLD), a large\u00a0population-based cohort dedicated to better understanding Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Dany\u2019s research focuses on the respiratory\u00a0health effects of outdoor air pollution exposure.<\/p>\n
