Science Colloquium: The Health of Canada’s Official Language Minority CommunitiesThursday, November 5, 2009 and Friday, November 6, 2009International Development Research Centre150 Kent Street, Ottawa

The Colloquium on the Health of Canada's Official Language Minority Communities was organized through a partnership involving, among others: Health Canada, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Official Languages Secretariat of Canadian Heritage, the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages, and the Canadian Institute for Research on Linguistic Minorities. The Colloquium brought together representatives from academic and research communities, health and social services management, administration and planning, federal and provincial governments, and communities concerned with minority language (French and English) health issues.

Principal Objectives
• To disseminate and promote the use of knowledge.
• To disseminate knowledge generated by OLMC health research, helping to identify more accurately the current and future needs of those communities.
• To promote the use of that knowledge so as to develop more effective strategies to meet OLMC needs, particularly with respect to long-term policy and program planning.
• To reduce the isolation experienced by researchers, by enabling the scientific community involved in OLMC health issues to discover work already completed or now under way, on relevant subjects.
• To encourage consultation among researchers, leading to the development of research programs.
• To encourage a new generation of OLMC health research by inviting young researchers to learn about previous work on the subject, motivate them to present their own work on OLMC health in poster form and encourage the development of research collaborations.
