All evidence should be assessed for quality to determine if it’s good enough to inform decision making in public health. However, public health evidence often includes grey literature sources, making choosing an appropriate assessment tool particularly challenging.

Join us for a free webinar to learn how NCCMT’s Guide to Quality Assessment of Public Health Evidence can help you understand what type of evidence you are appraising, and which tool is most suitable for assessing that evidence. We will also be joined by Alexa McArthur and Deborah Edwards who will showcase how JBI’s critical appraisal tools can be used to assess textual public health evidence, including narrative, expert opinion and policy documents.

Public health in Canada has faced many challenges over the past few years, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the resurgence of measles and ongoing environmental health impacts related to climate change. To overcome these challenges and move towards a healthier, more equitable Canada, we need a competent, agile and engaged public health workforce.

After an extensive pan-Canadian engagement process, the National Collaborating Centres for Public Health released the Core Competencies for Public Health in Canada: Release 2.0 in September 2025 to strengthen and unify the public health workforce. These updated Core Competencies provide the foundation for effective public health practice. To support the uptake of these competencies, the NCCMT launched a Competency Mapping Tool to direct public health practitioners to valuable resources that can help build knowledge and skills in the Core Competencies.

Join our upcoming free webinar to learn more about the Core Competencies for Public Health in Canada: Release 2.0 and how you can boost competence in these essential building blocks for public health practice.
