ATTAWAPISKAT HOUSING-CRISIS

In addition to being a violation of human rights the Attawapiskat Housing Crisis is clear example of the social determinants of health. It unfortunately, for the people of Attawapiskat, shows how the broader subtext of one's life influences their well-being.
Hopefully, by spreading the word of what is happening in Attawapiskat we can collectively put pressure on the government to do something to help the community.

Welcome to this blog

Hi Welcome to Global Health Video of the Week.
This site is designed to highlight interesting videos related to the field of Global Health, social advocacy, relevant projects going on at the University of Saskatchewan and in our community at large.
Our goal is to have at least one new video a week but the more the merrier.
While our target audience is health science students at the University of Saskatchewan we encourage anyway to participate in this online forum. If you have any suggestions for videos or media that is relevant please post on the blog or email: dia.usask@gmail.com

Thanks for checking the blog out!
