Building a healthy, resilient community, together.
The Alberta Healthy Communities Approach (AHCA) is an innovative five step process that can foster action and support you to create a healthy community.
The AHCA is a proven way of working that supports community-led planning and action across environments and settings to create healthy and thriving places to live, learn, work, play and age.
Examples of this work include increasing availability of healthy food, providing sunshade structures, or bringing community together to reduce loneliness.
