Activities of the Research Council
Providing a Research Forum that is attached to the PHE National Conference. The forum offers a way for professors and graduate students with a common interest in Physical and Health Education from across Canada to meet, to share current research, and to establish and nurture professional networks. Graduate students are provided with opportunities to showcase their research and to meet new colleagues. Practitioners are invited to attend Research Council research presentations at the preconference, and many professors and graduate students offer practical activity sessions during the subsequent conference.
Operating a listserv that advertises employment opportunities, new publications, upcoming provincial, national and international conferences, and Research Council information and events. This listserv maintains connections among professors and graduate students throughout North America and Europe.
