Join the leaders for change. Become a Sheela Basrur Centre Sponsor.​


“Much of the improvement of life expectancy over the past century is due to public health measures.”

- Dr. Sheela Basrur

Strong voices for public health. Leaders for change.

SBC creates strong voices with the ability to communicate effectively on key issues and prepares the public health workforce to take on challenging leadership roles.  Dr. Basrur’s leadership and clear communication of complex public health issues during times of crisis were among her many remarkable achievements.  Her legacy lives on at the Sheela Basrur Centre (SBC) where our programs make a significant and lasting impact to support current and future public health leaders. Both individual and corporate donations help us build on Dr. Basrur’s vision. 

Your Contribution 
By contributing to the Sheela Basrur Centre you are investing in more than the programs that will sustain the sector; you are also investing in the people. We are equipping current and future public health professionals with the skills, resources and opportunities to step into leadership roles, whether through managing strategic communications or participating in public health programs in developing communities. These individuals will be essential to providing public health information, knowledge and advice to Ontarians during times of calm and crisis.​
