PlanH Action Guides

• Customized tools & resources

BC Healthy Communities has published 7 Action Guides (and more on the way!) as a part of the PlanH program created in 2012. These guides are designed to be used by local government officials and staff, health authorities, and community stakeholders such as non-profit organizations. With this broad audience in mind, these guides are written to be understandable and accessible, while introducing concepts such as equity lenses and planning policies. The Action Guides have encompassed many subject areas crucial to healthy communities, including:

• • • Healthy Community Engagement
    • Healthy Housing
    • Active Communities
    • Social Connectedness
    • Healthy Eating & Food Security
    • How do Local Governments Improve Health and Community Well-being?
    • Tobacco Reduction
