Built Environment

Creating Healthy Places

Everyone can do their part to help create healthy communities. 

Get to know your municipality's Official Plan. An Official Plan sets out policies for current land use and future growth and development. You can find a copy on your municipality website or at your local library.

When your municipality creates a new plan, or wants to make changes to existing land use, the public must be consulted. Walk or cycle around where you live and see how easy or hard it is to get around without a car.  Attend a local meeting or share your idea in writing to speak out for healthy changes. Your voice matters.  

Groups that build healthy communities

    • Municipalities 
    • Local trails associations
    • Service clubs
    • Environmental groups
    • Local community garden groups
