Sharing an Animal Memory is a One Health event taking place at the Regional Psychiatric Centre (RPC) in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on November 6, 2018 to recognize One Health Day. Similar events will take place at 4 other prisons across Canada before the end of the year. The events highlight the novel One Health concept of zooeyia, the inverse of zoonosis; the positive benefit of animals to human health. The RPC event will be an opportunity to bring animals into a carceral environment, both through inmates’ shared memories (e.g., stories, artwork, poetry) and with visiting therapy dogs.

This event, centered around a One Health approach to antimicrobial stewardship (AMS), brings together stakeholders from across the spectrum of human and animal medicine to explore issues relating to antimicrobial resistance and stewardship. The focus is on priming attendees with current research and knowledge in the subject area and then developing strategies to improve the success of AMS programs. This symposium helps to build AMS networks and provides tangible tools to help attendees engage in their work.

The Canadian Health Adaptations, Innovations, & Mobilization (CHAIM) Centre and The Discovery Centre are hosting the third annual One HEALtH (Human-Environment-Animal Links to Health) Student Challenge at Carleton University. The Challenge is open to Carleton undergraduate students from all disciplines.
