On April 7, we celebrated World Health Day, marking the 77th anniversary of the World Health Organization’s founding in 1948. This day is dedicated to advocate and raise awareness around health issues that affect people all over the world. This year, the celebration of World Health Day kicks off a campaign focusing on maternal and newborn health, titled ‘Healthy beginnings, hopeful futures’. This campaign is aimed towards governments and health communities to increase their efforts in prioritizing women’s longer-term health and well-being, ending preventable maternal and newborn deaths. As we approach the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, let us continue to advocate for the good health and well-being of all around the world. To ensure healthy beginnings and hopeful futures, we must increase focus and investments on the health of mothers and babies. #WorldHealthDay #WorldHealthOrganization #UofT #UTSC #UTM

Over the past weekend, we celebrated World Water Day. As we approach the 2030 agenda for SDG 6: clean water and sanitation for all, we acknowledge the importance of freshwater and the sustainable management of freshwater resources. This year’s theme focuses on glacier preservation. With growing global temperatures, glaciers are melting faster than ever and making the water cycle more unpredictable. As the rapidly melting glaciers put countless communities and ecosystem at risk of devastation, we must advocate for action on the global water and climate change crisis. #WorldWaterDay #Sustainability #UofT #UTSC #UTM
