We are celebrating two things this week – first, our 5000th participant has been enrolled! The BC Generations Project is now well on its way to the 40,000 goal, but we still need many more people to join and to tell their family and friends.
Also this week the Canadian Medical Association Journal issued a news release to announce the publication of our paper, describing the national study (Canadian Partnership for Tomorrow), of which we are a part. This paper describes how the regions worked together to bring about the building of this resource for health research, and what progress has been made to date.
