Access The Replay
How do we ensure equitable access to opportunities for physical activity in our communities?
Thank you for joining BC Healthy Communities Society for this live province-wide livestream featuring thought leaders and innovators in conversation about the planning and policy approaches communities can use to ensure healthy communities for all. This event invited local government officials, planners and recreation programmers, as well as health authority staff and physical activity researchers, to learn about the tools and approaches they could use to ensure everyone in our communities can be physically active.
This event was presented by BC Healthy Communities Society through its PlanH program. This event was made possible with the generous assistance of a Stream of Consciousness 2020 Vision Grant.
