April 29 - May 1, 2025, CNIW proudly participated in attending and showcasing our research at the 2025 Canadian Public Health Association annual conference held in Winnipeg, MB. This conference brought together students, health professionals, researchers and policy-makers to advance the future of Canadian public health, while promoting equity and inclusion among diverse communities. It was such a privilege to learn and gain insight from experts in the field, including Canada's Chief Public Health Officer, Dr. Theresa Tam among many others.

CNIW presented two timely and high-impact projects.
- Healthy Moms, Healthy Babies: An immunization campaign for expectant mothers in the Greater Toronto Area.
- Enhancing healthcare access for immigrants through AI-powered insights
These two presentations spotlighted certain populations within our healthcare system and hope to spark the conversation and foster innovative solutions to strengthen public health systems.
We extend our gratitude to the CPHA and to all attendees who contributed to the inspiring and informative discussions. CNIW remains dedicated to improving health outcomes and looks forward to continued collaboration with the public health community!
