Understanding the Problem:

Our community consultations have identified key areas of interest:

Long-term Health Problems & Life Expectancy Gap: Consider launching a community fitness and nutrition program, providing affordable exercise classes, cooking workshops, and health education sessions to address prevalent health issues.

Environment: Establishing a community garden not only promotes environmental sustainability but also offers residents access to fresh, nutritious, locally grown products.

Food Security:Create a neighbourhood food co-op where residents can pool resources to purchase groceries in bulk at discounted rates, ensuring affordable and nutritious food for all.

Children’s Health and Security:Develop after-school programs focused on promoting physical activity, mental health, and a safe environment for children.
