Community Resources

One of the key focus areas identified in the Diversity Directional Document is to connect with organizations that represent diverse communities and members of diverse communities for the purposes of 1) better understanding them and their health needs and for 2) identifying barriers to accessing our services and reducing community based barriers. In doing so, we have discovered many community resources that are helpful to diverse communities. This section will link you to community resources that may help you. Our intention is not to recreate community directories or resources that already exist, but to make it easier to locate community resources. > more

Health and Diverse Populations

How healthy are diverse populations? What are the health issues they are experiencing? We compiled information from Canadian publications to find the answers to these questions. This section will provide you with up to date information on the health of diverse populations in Canada. > more
