CIPHI is a national organization whose mission is to represent and unite Environmental Public Health professionals across Canada. We endeavour to advance the profession and field of Environmental Public Health through means such as the certification of public health inspectors, and the promotion of education and on-going professional competencies. CIPHI also has a role in advocating on behalf of members who hold the Certified Public Health Inspectors (Canada), (CPHI (C)) credential. CIPHI supports any restructuring or reorganizing aimed at improving public health efficiencies and improving the health of Canadians and would like to offer some insight from the perspective of our members that we hope will assist the Manitoba government reach this goal. As health professionals working on the frontline of public health inspection services, CPHI (C)s have diverse training in a variety of environmental public health specialties such as food safety, drinking water protection, environmental health and safety, healthy built environments, health promotion, infection prevention and communicable disease control.

  • Field Experimental Evidence on the Effectiveness of Direct Mail in A
    For Want of a Nail: Field Experimental Evidence on the Effectiveness of Direct Mail in a Political Campaign∗ Peter John Loewen D´epartement de science politique, Universit´ede Montr´eal [email protected] Daniel Rubenson Department of Politics, Ryerson University [email protected] This version printed on May 24, 2007 Note: This is a working dissertation article. Please do not quote or cite without permission. Abstract Direct mail is a pervasive feature of modern political campaigns. But does it work? This paper presents evidence from a field experiment into the effects of direct mail. Working with a front-running campaign during the race for the leadership for the Liberal Party of Canada, we randomly assigned a subset of convention delegates to receive a direct mail treatment. We then measured the effects of this treatment on delegates’ ratings and preference ordering of leadership candidates using a survey instrument. Our results indicate that despite its ubiquity, the direct mail had minimal and probably negative persuasive effects. 1. Introduction Does direct mail work? Political campaign managers certainly believe it does. In nearly every type of political campaign at every level of competition, some form of mail is used. Sometimes this mail serves the purpose of outlining a candidate’s position, or casting an opponent’s position in an unfavourable light. At other times it is used for fundraising. It also sometimes serves a mobilizing function, encouraging potential voters to participate in an election. Most often it takes up several of these tasks at once. Whatever its purpose, there seems little question that direct mail is a frequently used tool in politics generally.
