Enhancing Communications for Future Health Crises

On June 20th, 2023, the Pacific Institute on Pathogens, Pandemics, and Society (PIPPS) hosted Enhancing Communications for Future Health Crises, a virtual lunch and learn for public health communicators and civil society organizations (CSOs) serving multilingual communities in British Columbia.

The lunch and learn highlighted PIPPS research on CSOs’ experiences collating, translating, and sharing information about COVID-19 among newcomers and people whose first language is not English (Purewal, Smith, & Nicol, 2023). The event also served as a forum to discuss the role of CSOs as community-based knowledge brokers and enable connections between public health communicators across BC.
