Health as a Bridge to Peace (HBP) is a student club at York University, Toronto, founded in 2007. The club was established by a group of students, staff, and faculty members in the university who wanted to encourage dialogue on campus and create an environment where members in our community could explore perspectives related to health, peace, community, culture, identity, resilience.

Welcome to the new Academic Year
On October 5, 2009 HBP participated in a York U sponsored event called the "Day of Inclusion". HBP hosted one of the events. The HBP keynote address was by Professor Mahdieh Dastjerdi who spoke about the importance of language in the Canadian Health Care system. At the event, attendees participated in an activity called "Agree Disagree". This was a fun and unique way of initiating dialogue on important issues and ideas that comprise our diverse society. In all it was a fun and informative event.

The form of the diary is unlike contemporary diaries or journals—some events are developed with much more detail than others. The work includes short vignettes, poetry in the form of waka, and an epistolary section.
