Healthy City Advisory Committee

The Healthy City Advisory Committee is a joint initiative between the City of St. John’s and NL Health Services. This Advisory Committee takes a ‘Collective Impact’ approach involving leaders from various disciplines, sectors, and levels of Government working together to improve the social, economic, and environmental conditions that affect health and quality of life. The Committee’s role is to discuss community health and quality of life issues; promote collective action across sectors and disciplines; and provide leadership, guidance, and support for evidence-based decision-making on the actions of the Healthy City Strategy.
