In 1938, DES(diethylstilbestrol) was the first synthetic estrogen to be created. [It] was prescribed to millions of pregnant women, primarily from 1938–1971, [...] in the mistaken belief the drug prevented miscarriage and ensured a healthy baby. But it didn’t work and instead DES harmed the mothers who were prescribed it, the children born of those pregnancies and now possibly their grandchildren and beyond. 3, record 3, English, - DES%20Action%20USA

The Children's Oral Health Initiative(COHI) was developed as a means to address the disparity between the oral health of First Nations and Inuit and that of the general Canadian population. COHI was launched on a test basis in Fall 2004. COHI focuses on the prevention of dental disease and promotion of good oral health practices. The goal of COHI is to shift the emphasis from a primarily treatment based approach to a more balanced prevention and treatment focus. The initial focus for oral health promotion will be directed at three target groups : pregnant women and primary caregivers; pre-school children, 0-4 years of age; and school children, 5-7 years of age. Health Canada expects that the COHI, once fully implemented in subsequent years, will result in significant improvement of the oral health in First Nations and Inuit. 1, record 4, English, - Children%27s%20Oral%20Health%20Initiative

L'Initiative en santé buccodentaire des enfants (ISBE) a été élaborée pour combler l'écart qui existe en matière de santé buccodentaire entre les collectivités des Premières nations et des Inuits et l'ensemble de la population canadienne. L'ISBE a été lancée à l'automne 2004 à titre d'essai. L'ISBE est essentiellement axé sur sur la prévention des maladies buccodentaires et la promotion de bonnes habitudes d'hygiène buccodentaire. L'ISBE, se concentre sur un programme plus équilibré de prévention et de traitement préventif plutôt que sur le traitement primaire même. La promotion de la santé buccodentaire s'adressera initialement aux trois groupes cibles suivants : les femmes enceintes et les principaux pourvoyeurs de soins; les enfants en âge préscolaire de 0 à 4 ans; les enfants en âge scolaire de 5 à 7 ans. Santé Canada prévoit une amélioration importante de la santé buccodentaire des Premières nations et des Inuits une fois la mise en œuvre de l'ISBE. 1, record 4, French, - Initiative%20en%20sant%C3%A9%20buccodentaire%20des%20enfants

In January 1948 at the 42nd IOC in St Moritz, Switzerland, the International Olympic Committee(IOC) approved the idea of Olympic Day. This celebration would be used to commemorate the creation of the IOC on 23 June 1894 in Paris. Olympic Day was held for the first time on 23 June 1948 with a total 9 National Olympic Committees(NOCs) hosting ceremonies in their respective countries : Austria, Belgium, Canada, Great Britain, Greece, Portugal, Switzerland, Uruguay and Venezuela. In an effort to encourage all NOCs to commemorate and celebrate Olympic Day, the IOC Sport for all Commission launched the Olympic Day Run concept with the objective of promoting the practice of participation in sport by men, women and children from all corners of the world and all walks of life, regardless of athletic ability. The first Olympic Day Run was held in 1987. 1, record 6, English, - Olympic%20Day

Cet événement allait servir à commémorer la création du CIO le 23 juin 1894 à Paris.

Dans un effort visant à encourager tous les CNO à commémorer la Journée olympique, la commission du sport pour tous du CIO lança le concept de la course de la Journée olympique, avec pour objectif la promotion de la pratique du sport par les hommes, femmes et enfants des quatre coins du monde et de tous les horizons, quelles que soient leurs aptitudes sportives.
