Projects
OHCC develops and implements projects to increase our knowledge, practices, services and partnerships with respect to certain aspects of Healthy Communities. Our projects are in collaboration with other organizations and networks.
Our Projects
FoodNet Ontario is a province-wide network of organizations and individuals working together to create sustainable local food systems and achieve (community) food security in communities across Ontario. FoodNet Ontario helps communities across Ontario develop sustainable local food systems by facilitating communication and cooperation, and encouraging a wide range of participants in the food system to work together to develop effective programs and policies.
The Future of the Good Food Box Program
This project is a collaborative effort of the Food Security Work Group
of the Ontario Public Health Association, FoodNet Ontario and the
Ontario Healthy Communities Coalition. Its purpose is to strengthen the
network of Good Food Box (GFB) programs across the province by
developing a sustainable GFB business model and activating a supportive
GFB network.
Healthy Communities Consortium
The Healthy Communities Consortium, funded by the Ministry of Health Promotion as part of the Healthy Communities Fund , supports community groups, organizations and partnerships who are working toward building Healthy Communities throughout Ontario.
Healthy Communities: An Approach to Action on Health Determinants in Canada
This project aims to demonstrate that the Healthy Community approach is an effective way to address chronic disease prevention. Through this project, four provincial Helathy Communities initiatives will establish a national Healthy Community Network which will collaborate across disciplines, sectors, languages and geographies to raise awareness of the Healthy Communities approach; sharing tools, resources and best practices; and empowering communities to take action on the social determinants of health and of chronic disease prevention.
