I am a little late adding my name to this list, but I would also like to be 
included. 

In October 2008,  The Centre for Literacy will run an Institute with Bow 
Valley College in Calgary Alberta from the 16-18 that focuses on HL 
curriculum for all healthcare providers from physicians to nursing aides.
We will have details at the end of January, but part of the mandate for the 
event is to collect as much shared material as possible about what already 
exists.

I look forward to hearing more.

Best wishes for the holiday and the new year

Linda Shohet
