About NCCPH
The six National Collaborating Centres (NCCs) for Public Health promote and improve the use of scientific research and other knowledge to strengthen public health practices and policies in Canada. They identify knowledge gaps, foster networks and translate existing knowledge to produce and exchange relevant, accessible, and evidence-informed products with researchers, practitioners, and policy makers.

Projects
Small Drinking Water Systems Project
The water safety in Canada is of highest importance especially in regards to systems serving small and remote communities. The six NCCs are jointly developing a number of products on how best to provide public health oversight to small drinking water systems with the goal of improving those systems by providing the necessary evidence to inform practice and policy.
Public Health Ethics
How does public health relate to such concepts as social justice, solidarity and reciprocity? Public Health Ethics are enjoying growing interest among public health professionals. The NCCs are exploring the utility of various fundamental ethical concepts in the evaluation of public health practices and policies.
