Call for Abstracts

The Canadian Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion Conference Program Committee invites you to submit abstracts for the 2011 Conference to be held Nov. 16 – 18, 2011, at the Westin Bayshore in Vancouver, B.C.  This national event is being co-hosted by Safe Communities Canada, Safe Kids Canada, SMARTRISK, ThinkFirst Canada and the Canadian Red Cross. Designed to build on the previous successful conferences held in 2003, 2005 and 2007, the 2011 conference will focus on leadership, capacity building and networking for community workers, health care providers, emergency services personnel, researchers, evaluators, planners and policy makers at the municipal, regional, provincial/territorial and national levels.

Submissions are encouraged from a wide range of sectors, including community groups, social service organizations, education, justice, health, transport, recreation, sport, Aboriginal organizations, non-governmental organizations, government, industry and academia.

Presenters/authors have the opportunity to submit their abstracts as:

  • Attendee poster presentations: accepted posters will be in place for the entire conference and poster presenters must stand by their posters during the attended session times.  Poster presenters will be provided with a free-standing 4 x 4 (length x height) poster board as well as Velcro/pins to affix the presentations.  Audio-visual or tables will not be provided.
  • Oral presentations: (10-15 minute presentations with an additional 5 minutes for question & answer).
  • PechaKucha 20x20 format:  PechaKucha 20x20 is a simple presentation format where you show 20 slides, each for 20 seconds (total: 6 min and 40 sec). The images forward automatically and you talk along to the images. Presentations will be grouped within a larger session with similar topics/interests.
  • Workshops/breakout sessions: (60 – 90 minutes in length, including question and answer).
