\n Carleton to Host Student Challenge on Supporting Companion Pet Care in Ottawa\u2019s Inner City\n <\/h1>\n \n \n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Carleton University will host the 2019 One HEALtH (Human Environment Animal Links to Health) student challenge<\/a>, where teams will present their plans to create conditions in the Ottawa inner city area to allow anyone \u2013 including marginalized and vulnerable populations \u2013 to care for a companion pet. By caring for a pet, people may be able to derive psychological, social, emotional and physical benefits.
\n
\nMedia are invited to the competition\u2019s final exhibit and judging session.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When: <\/strong>Friday, Nov. 22, 2019, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
\nWhere:<\/strong> Room 482 Discovery Centre, Fourth Floor, MacOdrum Library, Carleton
\nInfo<\/strong>: A campus map is available online<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The students\u2019 plans will consider the scientific evidence, social and environmental context, communications, policies, programs and infrastructure needed to promote healthy human-pet interactions in a dense urban area. Working in multi-disciplinary teams, the students will develop community-engaged solutions to empower pet care for all of Ottawa\u2019s inner city citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judges from Carleton, Ottawa Public Health, the Humane Society and Ottawa Inner City Health Program will evaluate these plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winning teams will be rewarded with a one-term research internship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This third annual challenge is organized by the Canadian Health Adaptations, Innovations, & Mobilization<\/a> (CHAIM) Centre and the Discovery Centre<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
