The Forum will bring together local governments, the health sector and other community partners working towards healthier communities in the northern region. The event will be an exciting opportunity to take stock of our collective journey and to identify key steps for moving forward.

HEAR the stories behind the successes in collaborating across sectors for healthier communities.
LEARN about effective plans, policies, and initiatives that are making a difference in communities around the region.
EXPLORE what’s possible when local governments, health authorities and other community partners collaborate for greater impact.
CONNECT with others to get innovative ideas and useful resources for your community.
