Let’s Chat! Facilitating a Conversation on Basic Income 2019
The Public Health Association of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island held a workshop in 2019 to facilitate a conversation on basic income and health. The workshop aimed to build understanding around the concept of basic income and its potential impact on health, to showcase how basic income models function in other jurisdictions, and to advocate for governments and NGOs to join in this conversation. The Let’s Chat Basic Income and Health Workshop was an interactive event that drew on material from the BIG experience and explored potential basic income policies in the context of NBPEI.
