Thank you for the question, Dr. Carrie.
Actually, one of our coalitions is called Healthy Canada by Design. Peel Public Health is leading that work with other coalition partners. It's very much looking at municipal planning and how we can encourage the planning practices by municipalities to consider what's needed to support both physical activity as well as other aspects of healthy living. They are seeing some real changes in the uptake of their planning practices, not just in Peel, but also in other areas of the country, by supporting this activity.
That's one dimension of it. The other is that there has been work led very much by the Heart and Stroke Foundation in northern communities around the concept of gardens and opportunities to create access to healthy food sources that are much more community-based, and really encouraging community ownership of that idea.
So there are many dimensions that can be tackled in terms of supporting healthy communities.
We have another coalition that's looking at helping kids get physically active. In particular, we have one with first nations communities in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, where we are piloting chronic disease prevention education, with first nations communities by first nations communities. Again there are many levels on which I think you need to engage the community so that nutrition and healthy eating and physical activity are addressed collectively.
Certainly the partnership, through its coalitions, takes a very broad perspective about supporting prevention activities and really looking at those risk factors and how we can accelerate action. So we're going to be looking to how we can support further the Peel Public Health and communities by design to be adopted across the country.
