A number of public events will also be offered under The Health Institute, including the Townsend Lecture "Participation after stroke" with Dr. Johanne Desrosiers from Universite de Sherbrooke on May 5 from 5:00 - 6:30 in Room 150 of the Collaborative Health Education Building.  Watch the website for details on an upcoming book launch of “Licit, Illicit, Prescribed: Substance Use and Occupational Therapy” by Dr. Niki Kiepek of the School of Occupational Therapy.
