Where the Actions can be Taken • District recommendations taken to Board, Managers and staff for inclusion in Business and operational plans - where feasible • CHB recommendations - take Plans to community sessions… • e.g. Active transportation, • Recreation, • provincial strategies • Municipal planning, etc. • …and advocate for the CHB recommendations there

  13. Summary • Get your plans / recommendations (DHA and CHB) on your monthly agendas • Write specific actions (what, how, who, when…) - bite sized pieces! • Work with community partners / champions – sustainable action comes from within the community • Put yourself out there - go where the people are – and advocate for your recommendations
