The Second Canadian Conference on Literacy and Health brought together delegates with diverse interests in the literacy and health fields, providing them with the opportunity to share experiences, to discover practical tools, and to build partnerships. The organizing committee used workshop reports and questionnaires to capture delegate perspectives and recommendations relating to the four conference themes:

1) Building best practices in literacy and health
2) Focusing on language and culture
3) Building knowledge in literacy and health
4) Building healthy public policy

This report on the conference proceedings has been divided into three main parts:
1) Plenary speeches
2) Presentations and workshops - four sections, one for each of the conference themes listed above
3) Recommendations and actions steps
