    Healthy communities: What have we learned?
    (Canadian Institute of Planners, 2002) Witty, David R.
    Through the CHCP office located in CIP's national office, CIP played a significant leadership role in reaching out to Canadian communities, provinces and organizations, stimulating debate about, and offering support for, communities that are healthy in cultural, ecological, economic, physical and social terms. While the seeds of healthy communities were sown across Canada, they did not take root as expected, but have become localized in a few jurisdictions, such as Quebec, where broader concerns about social justice and environmental health remain on the political agenda. Lessons for CIP and others indicate the need for a sharper focus on political partnerships at the grassroots, local, regional, provincial and federal levels, and a willingness to commit energies and resources to stimulate debate and articulate bold visions for the twenty-first century.

    The state of the healthy communities movement in Canada
    (Canadian Institute of Planners, 2002) Sherwood, David H.
    This article has three components. It lists the status and contact names for the "healthy communities" movement across Canada, provides a summary of the common elements of good community capacity- building processes, and offers remarks by David Sherwood. After being involved in the healthy communities movement in the early years, David was pleasantly surprised at how the movement has continued with only limited resources. He thinks it is especially well adapted to communities that are geographically defined, such as medium-sized cities, rural areas and neighbourhoods. Despite its challenges, the model is still useful.
