CHAIM’s Top Three

Spring 2022

Welcome to the first edition of the CHAIM Centre Newsletter. Here you will receive updates on Centre activities and affiliate activities.

1. 2022 One Health Challenge Winners

Six weeks of hard work came to a head on Mar. 19 when students presented their pitches on interventions that can promote the use of green spaces for public health benefits. While all teams brought innovative ideas to the table, first place went to the “Green Days” Team. Runner ups include the “Community Flyers” Team and the “Flowers for Hope” Team.
