Healthy Communities Framework

Are you a recreation professional or community leader committed to healthy eating and active living in your community? Then this resource is for you! The Healthy Communities Framework (HCF) has been designed with health and wellness champions in mind and is intended to help increase community-level healthy eating and active living (HEAL) initiatives in communities across Alberta!

As a free online community development tool, this framework is composed of 7 key areas (7 Pillars) that provide suggested actions you can take to help your community build towards a healthier future. The 7 Pillars include: Policy, Places, People, Partnerships, Programs, Promotion, and Participation.
