The Healthy City Strategy is a long-term, integrated plan for healthier people, communities, and environments.
Our aim is to continually improve the conditions that allow everyone to enjoy the highest level of health and well-being possible.
The strategy includes long-term goals reflecting key determinants of health in Vancouver. Setting these goals means that the City will continuously strive to improve well-being in these areas.
