The Halifax Community Advisory Board for HPS anticipates the selection of a CE before April 1, 2012.

Pride Week Discussion Panels
Mark your calendars! prideHealth is holding two discussion panels: Monday, July 18 and Tuesday, July 19 as part of Halifax Pride Week celebrations. Everyone is encouraged to attend these informative discussions on sexual health and elder care.
GLBTIQ Sexual Health: Beyond Disease
Date: July 18
Time: Noon
Location: Parker Reception Room, IWK Health Centre
Sexual Health for the GLBTIQ community is more than being informed about sexually transmitted infections and diseases. It involves being able to enjoy the positive aspects of sexual activity and make informed choices free from fear, shame and guilt. Please join members of the GLBTIQ community and health care providers who support (and work with) GLBTIQ youth and adults in discussing holistic GLBTIQ sexual health throughout the age spectrum.
GLBTIQ Elders and Inclusive Care
Date: July 19
Time: Noon
Location: Royal Bank Theatre, Halifax Infirmary Site, Capital Health
Ensuring that health care is accessible and inclusive throughout our lifetimes is imperative to the health and well being of the entire GLBTIQ community. Come join this dynamic discussion with members of the GLBTIQ community and health care providers as we explore inclusive health care for GLBTIQ elders.
For more information, contact primaryhealthcare@cdha.nshealth.ca or call 473-3830.

African Canadian Transition Program September 2011
Still Accepting Applications for September 2011
The African Canadian Transition Program (ACTP) offered at the Akerley Campus Nova Scotia Community College:
1. What is this program all about?
Research proves Black students learn best when they can relate to the material and see themselves represented. The ACTP reflects Black culture in its teaching style and curriculum; it works to enhance skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, time management, budgeting, communications, and stress management. Program Participants also gain credits in courses such as Math and Science for the Nova Scotia High School Graduation Diploma for Adults.
2. Am I eligible?
You can apply to this program if you:
• Self-identify as being Black/from the African Canadian Community (of African descent)
• Are 19 years of age or older
• Do not have a recognized high school diploma
• Have been out of public school for at least twelve consecutive months
• Have literacy and numeracy skills at the Grade 10 level, or above (assessment to follow application)
• Are mature and committed to learning
• Intend to complete the Nova Scotia High School Graduation Diploma for Adults
3. What else should I know?
There is no tuition. The program begins in September and ends in May at NSCC’s Akerley Campus in Dartmouth. This is a full-time program and, therefore, regular attendance is required. To provide opportunities for African Nova Scotians across the province, five seats are reserved for participants from outside the Halifax Metro region. In such cases, we may be able to assist with your transportation and living expenses. For all other applicants living in HRM, although there is no monthly living allowance, we may be able to provide a bus pass.
