2. ROYAL ONTARIO MUSEUM (ROM): The Royal Ontario Museum, known as the ROM, is one of Canada’s premier museums, with an international reputation for excellence. It houses an outstanding collection, which covers natural history, art, and culture from a great variety of periods from all over the world. It is also well-known for featuring exhibitions from across the globe.
3. ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT: The Entertainment District in Toronto covers a large area of the city centre, and includes many of the city’s top attractions, like the CN Tower, Scotiabank Arena, Rogers Centre, and many museums. It’s also known for fantastic dining, and most importantly, shows and performances. Most of the action is cantered on King Street, between Spadina Avenue and University Avenue.
4. ST. LAWRENCE MARKET: The St. Lawrence Market houses a variety of vendors selling various food products, flowers, and specialty items. The St. Lawrence Hall was built in Toronto in 1850 and served as a public meeting place and a concert venue. If you’ve been shopping or touring nearby, this is an excellent spot to stop in for a bite to eat or to relax with friends over a cup of coffee. In the summer, outdoor patios on elevated spaces allow you to soak up some of the warm sunshine.
5. TORONTO ISLAND: The ferry trip from Queen’s Quay Terminal to the Toronto Islands, about a kilometre offshore, is the prelude to a thoroughly enjoyable outing. There are lovely walks on the islands, as well as the opportunity for rowing, sailing, swimming, and other outdoor activities. In summer, the Toronto Islands are the venue for numerous open-air events. In favourable weather, there is a stunning view of the Toronto skyline.

PUBLIC HEALTH CHALLENGES IN MIGRATION

Migration and internal displacement involves significant numbers of persons moving from one location to one or more other locations, thus presenting themselves to at last two sets of public and private sector bodies dealing with public health.

In their point of origin, they were consumers of health services and, some may have been deliverers of such services. Prior to their departure, they may have been current with, or not have taken full advantage of such services and, therefore, were not in the best of health and became carriers of locally-sourced diseases and conditions or in need of deferred attention. Their departure may have impact on the allocation of public health funds to those staying in place.

At points of arrival, the migrants may introduce into the local population unfamiliar diseases and conditions  and the newcomers may not have been prepared to deal with what is endemic to that location and for which existing population has been prepared to deal with. 

Migrants can bring experience and skill sets not present before their arrival. Their interaction with new colleagues can generate novel research, innovation in product and therapy development. This synergy can also be of value to all migrants worldwide and should be encouraged throughout the public and private sectors.

Some select topics for panel discussion above to incorporate:

1. Ethical Coverage Of Migration And Balanced Reporting
2. Migration, Technology And Economic Inflow In Developing And Developed Nations
3. Covid-19: Mobility And Future Of Sports Investments As A Component Of Migration.
4. Diaspora Investments: Harnessing The Potentials To Benefit Nations
5. Canada Visa Application: The Oppoutunities And The Best Approach.
6. Regular Migration, Migrants: The Global Best Practices.

The training methodology will  consider relevant migration management documents on global and continental migration policies and framework for ethical media reporting on migration: These include Canada’s migration policy and economic benefits,  agenda 2030 for sustainable development, New York Declaration, documentations on mobility as drafted by the  Global Compact for safe, orderly and regular Migration, International Organization for Migration (IOM), African Union projection on migration on 2063 Agenda and various international, regional and national legal instruments for the protection of the migrant’s rights; other related materials on the role of media in migration discourse. Other invited institution are Association of Black Journalists Toronto, Ontario; European Union office, Canada; Migration and Diaspora Studies, Carleton University, Canada; and The International Migration Research Centre (IMRC), Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada.
