BC Healthy Communities supports community groups and local governments to assess, enhance and mobilize the capacities they need to continually create and improve community well-being.

 

There are many brilliant seeds of ideas being planted in communities to grow projects and find solutions to problems. But, those seeds will not grow unless they are planted in healthy fertile ground that has all the ingredients to nurture development. So, one could say, that BCHC supports you to “till the soil” of your community so that local initiatives can flourish and achieve the highest potential possible.

We Believe

We believe that the creation of healthier cities and communities requires the empowerment of individuals and communities to exert more control over all of the factors that contribute to their health and well-being. People - both individually and as members of a range of groupings, including local government - must be centrally involved in the process of envisioning and developing the communities they want to live in.
