Speakers:

Marie Brisson is a Bilingual Health Promotion Consultant of the Best Start Resource Centre.  She graduated from the University of Ottawa in nursing; she then completed a second cycle diploma in Andragogy and a diploma in Health and Safety in the workplace. She worked in Public Health in numerous health programs and worked a few years in the private sector which makes her field of expertise very wide.  
 

Maureen McDonald is an RECE and a Master of Education in Community Development & Adult Education. Maureen currently manages the comprehensive, bilingual core health promotion services through Health Nexus and HC Link. With 25 years’ experience designing and leading complex child and family health and social support service systems, she promotes healthy communities through the cultivation and development of multi-sectorial partnership initiatives and projects. Maureen’s work, both within Toronto and across the province, reflects the need to develop innovative and responsive solutions to address the upstream health needs of diverse populations in a wide variety of community settings. 
 

Kids First Huron Perth is a consortium of more than 60 local agencies and professionals committed to providing an integrated system of prenatal, healthy child development, early identification and intervention, and early learning and care services for children under the age of 13 and their families.

Their mission is to plan, monitor and evaluate the integration of prenatal; healthy child development; early identification and intervention; and early learning and care services for children under the age of six and their families who reside in Huron and Perth Counties.

The Steering Committee endorses the Province of Ontario’s vision for the early years – “Ontario’s children and families are well supported by a system of responsive, high-quality, accessible, and increasingly integrated early years programs and services that contribute to healthy child development today and a stronger future tomorrow.”

Poverty to Prosperity (P2P) in Huron is a collaborative and action-based group that brings people together from across sectors to improve the lives of individuals who live in poverty. P2P envisions an end to poverty in Huron County and a healthy, equitable, just and inclusive community where every person has a sense of belonging.
