Healthy eating and physical activity top the list of the most important community health needs based a series of reports released by the Northwestern Health Unit.
The Health Unit's Tanis Fretter says they're now working to address those needs in the twelve communities involved.
"Some communities are development plans around what they identified mostly as either their top two or top three priorities," says Fretter. "We working with communities to help them figure out what next steps they want to take and we're committed to continuing that process as long as it takes."
Recreational opportunities, drug and alcohol use and mental health were other priorities identified.
