PHE Canada, along with five other organizations, started the Canadian Alliance for Healthy School Communities two years ago. Healthy school communities are the ones with students who are physically active, with nutrition programs, where the environment is conducive to health and so on.
When we first came together as a group, we did this test to measure the level of collaboration between individuals. On the one end, you have turf and competition, and on the other end, you have integration and collaboration. When we first charted where we were, we were in that competitive turf space. Two years later, we are now moving toward this collaboration model.
The people around this table are in education, recreation, health and are at the municipal, community, federal and provincial levels.
It is possible to change that, but it has absolutely—you're right—defined the past 10 years of how we've been working. There is change afoot in regard to that. Going back to the common vision, it's very much linked to ensuring that we no longer work in a place of turf or competition but that we're working to collaborate.
