Building Healthy Communities Collaborative

The Healthy Built Environment Wellness Paper is the culmination of three years of work by the Provincial Wellness Advisory Council (PWAC). During this time, PWAC engaged the broader community to understand how our Built Environment affects our health and how we can change it to improve health and wellness for all in the province. This Wellness Paper will provides an overview of the built environment, its impact on health and wellbeing, and the health outcomes of interventions designed for improvement. It identifies and describes potential levers for impacting change, as well as potential strategies for creating healthy built environments in Newfoundland and Labrador.
