Project description:

Building a Healthier English-speaking community through the improved quality of life at all ages and stages

Adapt and pilot an existing health promotion program by establishing a partnership agreement with the CSSS, as identified through the community needs assessment that was undertaken in 2009-2010. Develop innovative information tools and animation strategies using local media and our website to promote activities. We will ensure community resources are utilized in the implementation of a health promotion program, through the recruitment and training of volunteers, in addition to working in collaboration with the school to break isolation experienced by seniors.

Joining Hands for Health Care

The working group will develop a workplan identifying health promotion topics based on the community questionnaires as carried out in 2009-2010. We will partner with 2 CSSS territories to develop a services information pack for the ESC, in the area of Homecare.

CASA will pilot a frozen meals program for seniors in collaboration with the CSSS, and look towards solidifying a partnership agreement in delivery of the program for the senior population.
