Right to Know Event: Dr. Shiva Chopra

Right to Know Event: Dr. Shiva Chopra 

DATE: MARCH 26, 2009

The Right to Know Coalition of Nova Scotia is pleased to present a talk by Dr. Shiva Chopra, Health Canada Scientist and Food Safety Whistleblower, in Alumni Hall (NAB, King's campus), on March 26, 2009, at 7:30 p.m.

Lecture details: Are private interests impacting food and health safety? How is the Canadian government dealing with adverse or critical findings by Health Canada Scientists? How do we ensure a safe food supply for the public?

Chopra, the author of Corrupt to the Core: Memoirs of a Health Canada Whistleblower, worked with his colleagues on such initiatives as preventing approval of harmful drugs, raising early attention to avoidable sources of Mad Cow Disease, and questioning the Anthrax scare.
