Events, Announcements and Job Postings

Letters to the Editor, Comings & Goings, and Other Occasional Columns

  • We welcome your comments on anything we publish. Send your letters to editor@ohpe.ca.
  • We are particularly interested in your feedback on our feature articles: did we miss a relevant program, a resource, a point of view?
  • While we can't guarantee that your letter will be featured we do promise that all our correspondents be asked for permission before we post.
  • You can also say farewell to old colleagues and welcome new ones. We gather your news and compile a monthly round up of who's who and who's where in our Comings & Goings column. Email your news to editor@ohpe.ca.
  • We occasionally compile special columns that collect web resources on such issues as SARS, West Nile, and elections. If you have an idea for such a column, let us know at editor@ohpe.ca.
  • There is no submission deadline for these special items.

Feature Articles and Resources

  • Feature articles should be approximately 1,000 to 2,000 words and should include an introduction or overview of the issue (including the writer's perspective or context); steps, process or key points; an example or tips for practical application; a conclusion or next steps; and references.
  • Articles should be accompanied by key resources for further investigation. The resources can be, for example, organizations, print or electronic articles, journals, websites, listservs or events, and we recommend including about three of each type. Please provide a comment, review or annotation about each resource.
  • Please allow up to six weeks for a response from our very part-time editorial team.
  • More detailed writer's guidelines are available on request.

Reprinting and Payment

  • The OHPE Bulletin permits reprints--electronic and print--as long as both the author and the OHPE are credited.
  • We regret that we are unable to pay our contributors.
