Health
network

set up

Contributed by the
Skeena Health Unit

_A_ regional Healthy
Communities Network has been
established here in the Northwest
of B.C. Karen, Chrysler, a
Bachelor of Social Work
practicum student, has been
working on the project with the
regional steering committee since
January of this year..

Healthy Communities is based
on a broad view of health. Health
is seen as more than an absence
of illness. It is seen as a person’s
ability to cope with their
environment and to meet their
own needs. The Healthy
Community process _ itself
involves a broad range of
community people in deciding
what the community needs,
developing an action plan and
then carrying it out. The
community as a whole takes
responsibility for making their

‘community a healthy one.

The regional Healthy
Communities Network has
representatives from several
communities in the Northwest.
The network will act as 4a
resource and a way to share
information as communities work

~ to establish the process in their

communities. To show their
support of the regional network in
a practical manner, the B.C.
Office of health Promotion has
given each of these
representatives a sweatshirt
depicting the Healthy
Communities theme.

The representative in Terrace is
Debra Zorn. Her phone contact
number is 638-3310.

gories, there will be a table set up
specifically for this purpose. There
is no entry fee, but Fall Fair staff
would appreciate it if you would
fill out an entry form and drop it
off. This will enable them to keep
track of what’s being entered, and
they will even tag the display for
you.

to the tourist information centre. It
is imporilant that you get your
entry form in on time; #o entries
