In
May 2009, the Ministry of Health Promotion launched
its new Healthy Communities Ontario approach which is
part of an evolving process that is committed to implementing
a holistic and integrated approach. Healthy Communities
Ontario encourages the development of new partnerships
and strengthens existing ones, resulting in improved
access to priority health promotion programs and services
for Ontarians. This new approach will be mobilized by
the Healthy Communities Fund and a planning stream which
will support provincial and community organizations
to plan and deliver integrated initiatives that address
multiple risk factors and promote health and wellness,
at all levels, across the province.
As
a part of this new design, the Ministry of Health Promotion
brought together a consortium of several health promotion
resource centres to provide support to those working
within the new Healthy Communities Ontario approach.
The Healthy
Communities Consortium consists of five organizations:
The Consortium will provide a comprehensive mix of supports
such as training, consultation, print and electronic
resources, network building strategies and referrals
for local Healthy Communities Partnerships and Healthy
Community Fund grant applicants.
The
Ministry and Consortium will continue to provide updates
as its plans are further developed.
FOCUS
Resource Centre will continue to support the work of
our other clients and particularly the FOCUS Community
Program, as FOCUS coalitions transition to the new Healthy
Communities funding model.
