Come join us for an stimulating evening!


This documentary tells the story of how the health care systems in Canada and the U.S. evolved to be so completely different, when at one point they were essentially the same. Learn how Canadians came to adopt their system and why they love it so much they consider it's champion their most beloved national figure.


We will screen the film and then enjoy a Q&A with two terrific, well informed people.


Georgia Brewer is the LA Regional Coordinator for the Campaign for a Healthy California (a coalition of organizations committed to winning universal healthcare in CA) and


Bruce Hector, M.D., a family physician, member of Physicians for a National Health Program and co-director of the San Fernando Valley chapter of Health Care for All.


 They will be able to answer questions about the film itself, any questions about the Canadian system, other health care systems and the move to adopt a similar system here in CA.


BRING THE kIDS!


There will be free childcare supervised by trained staff

As a parent who spent over 12 hours on site volunteering at CHAMPSFEST, I must say that CHAMPSRead More Parent's assessment above of the circumstances is exactly correct.

Dear Hollietiger, CHAMPSFEST2013 was an awesome experience for my child. She was there all day andRead More had the best time. When I dropped her off I saw a slew of security personnel checking bags and wanding. She told me security was there immediately and a medic on hand. Her friend is fine and is going to school Monday morning. The hammer was from a vendor. The kid could have grabbed one of the stakes from a tent or a chair. Things happen, but I trust that the school and the administrators did the right thing. It's very counter productive and irresponsible to write things when you don't know the facts. I will support and trust CHAMPS and my daughter is already looking forward to next years CHAMPSFEST.

First of all, I don't know where your child got his information but he is quite uninformed. HeRead More obviously was believing all the rumors spreading at then end of the event. The victim's skull WAS NOT "cracked open and ... bleeding everywhere." CHAMPSFEST 2013 was a public event, therefore open to the PUBLIC. CHAMPS (the school) has no control of mental competency of attendants from other schools. Security was there in droves to protect the entire venue. As far as nothing being reported that is also FALSE. The kid was NOT taken away in handcuffs. Police were there and it is confidential information that was not released to the general population and is not a matter of public record. Second of all, the resources provided by the city were there as a backup (you mentioned "2 ambulances, police fire trucks... Not really sure what police fire trucks are but that's besides the point). We wanted to make sure that in this case of emergency all bases were covered and the safety of the victim was going to be treated properly. Next time you hear about an incident, I would consider the reputation of the people who worked so hard to put on the event and let them handle the situation before posting incorrect information to the entire community.
