Series 5 - Conferences and workshops

0.24 m of textual records

This series documents a number of conferences and workshops with which Dr. Evans was associated. The files contain correspondence, notes, memoranda, minutes, and programs and supporting documents. The arrangement is alphabetical by name of the event.

The series begins with a file on the Association of Canadian Medical Colleges ‘Trilateral 2000’ conference. Next are conferences held at the Bellagio Study and Conference Centre, Lake Como, Italy in 1979 (‘Health and population in developing countries’) and 1995 (‘Seeking a new paradigm for sustainable human development’), of which the Rockefeller Foundation was a sponsor. In 1995 Dr. Evans was invited by the board of directors of the Commonwealth Fund in New York City to join their retreat, where he gave an address, ‘Implications of turn-of-the-century addresses for foundations’. There is also a file on a workshop held in Montebello, Quebec in June 1999, where ideas and concepts generated produced a report, ‘The future of global and regional integration’.

Dr. Evans has long been interested in issues relating to governance in the corporate sector. This is reflected, in particular, in files on three different organizations, the Director’s College
at McMaster University, the National Association of Corporate Directors, and the ICD Corporate Governance College module held at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto in 2004.

There are also files on the National Forum on Canada’s International Relations (1994) where Dr. Evans was praised for “the strong leadership you gave to your group”. Next is a file on the Ontario Medical Association conference, ‘Ensuring a healthy future for Canadians: a dialogue on the Canada Health Act,’ held in Toronto in May 1999. The series concludes with files on the first two Symposiums on Public Health held in Montreal in 1992 and 1994. The theme of the latter was the socio-political and moral aspects of positive health and Dr. Evans gave an address, ‘Renewing community: a critical dimension of local and global stewardship’ (see Series 6).
