Vibrant Communities Symposium

Stakeholder consultation, available evidence and alignment at the Pan-Canadian level led to Vibrant Communities – A Plan for Action. The Plan for Action acknowledged the need to further engage those involved in creating healthy sustainable communities. As a result, the Vibrant Communities Symposium was held on March 10th and 11th, 2010.

The Symposium was an opportunity to discuss the social, economic, environmental and cultural perspectives of a Vibrant Community and develop a Vibrant Communities Charter reflecting these different perspectives (identified as a next step in Vibrant Communities: A Plan for Action).

Developing a Healthy Living Strategy

Making the Healthy Choice the Easy Choice

The Healthy Living Summit brought together a range of stakeholders to develop a shared vision intended to shape the future of healthy living in Manitoba – making the healthy choice the easy choice.

Stakeholders were invited to take part in a two-day process, facilitated by Wildwood Consulting, that would result in a collective vision, mission, strategic directions and an overall strategy approach. The overall strategy approach was intended to allow for collaborative action; strengthening community action; creating supportive environments; evaluation and monitoring; and building healthy public policy.

In an effort to build on existing efforts, invited stakeholders were those involved in the development of existing Strategies and Frameworks and representatives from existing Coalitions and Networks.
