Council asked to endorse Healthy Communities Partnership vision Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
Health is a top priority in everyone’s minds. “The Healthy Communities Partnership is made up of people who believe you can do more together, than you can separately,” said Dr. Paula Stewart, of the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit. She explained the vision behind the Healthy Communities Partnership for Lanark, Leeds and Grenville is to create healthier lifestyles. “There are six parts to this vi-
sion,” said Stewart. The first part, she explained, is that all community members have the necessary knowledge, interest, resources and opportunities to be physically active, including being outdoors in nature. Secondly, all community members have food knowledge and skills, and access to local, safe, healthy, affordable and culturally appropriate food. Thirdly, all community members are engaged, connected and have access to resources, and are able to cope with life’s challenges within a safe, supportive community. Fourthly, all community members have a respon-

sible attitude towards alcohol and other drugs, and the community supports skills and knowledge for healthy decision making and risk reduction. Fifthly, all community members have knowledge about tobacco use, skills for risk reduction and have less exposure to tobacco smoke in public and recreational settings. Finally, all community members have the knowledge and skills to prevent injuries, and a healthy environment in which to live, learn, work and play. “All six parts are interconnected,” said Stewart. She said she hopes the North Grenville council will endorse the Healthy Communities Partnership vision and in return, the municipality will receive a Healthy Communities Asset Inventory Tool for physical activity and healthy eating, a summary of participating municipalities (including North Grenville) and resources to support municipal initiatives. “You could be doing something that Brockville could benefit from and vice versa,” said Stewart. She explained healthy communities are vibrant communities.
