"Multicultural Health Fair Toolkit "

If you are planning an event…any event…you need to read this book!

In 2005, AMSSA and its partners organized the first multicultural health fair in British Columbia. In 2006, we did it again, and our colleagues in Prince George watched us very carefully and

then held one also. The Multicultural Health Fair Toolkit tells you everything you need to know to successfully mount a multicultural health fair.

Presented in an easy to use, spiral-bound 8½ x 11” format, this publication contains 145 pages of advice, checklists, examples, samples and resources. It covers Elements of Success; Focus; Fundraising; Design; Marketing; Volunteers; Event Day and Evaluation, as well as useful appendices of tips and hints and a great tracking time-line.

It is an excellent guide to planning and mounting any community event. Whether you are planning a multicultural health fair, a conference or a walk-a-thon, you will find this book essential.
