Community Health Promotion
A healthy community emerges when various local groups from all segments of society join forces to prevent disease and make healthy living options widely accessible. The most significant health benefits are realized when we work at the community level to promote healthy living, as this approach not only improves overall health outcomes but also addresses and reduces health disparities arising from income, education, race, ethnicity, location, and other factors.
The journey to becoming a healthy community is not solely dependent on the existing health infrastructure. Instead, it hinges on a strong political commitment to enhancing the community's environments and a willingness to create the necessary physical, social, and economic connections that support health and well-being.
In healthy communities, environments are designed to encourage healthy living at home, work, and school, and they provide robust mental health resources. This typically means creating spaces that are safe and conducive to walking, biking, playing in parks, and utilizing community spaces.
At TMLC, we are dedicated to the mission of building healthy communities. We achieve this by collaborating with organizations to develop equitable initiatives and by promoting positive mental health. We are committed to employing best practices in our efforts to create environments where communities can thrive in all aspects of health and wellness.
Vibrant places and spaces cultivate belonging, inclusion, connectedness and engagement.

Walking, a simple and enjoyable physical activity, requires nothing more than a good pair of shoes. With this in mind, we at TMLC have initiated neighbourhood walking programs specifically designed to encourage women to incorporate more movement into their daily lives. These programs are not just about walking; they are about embracing an active lifestyle as a routine part of everyday life. We aim to make physical activity accessible, enjoyable, and a natural part of the daily rhythm for women in our communities.
