6 The Winning Legacy A Plan for Improving the Health of British Columbians by 2010 Estimated annual costs of $3.8B could be avoided Calculated initial $1.1B investment required Recommended 27 strategic interventions based on risk factor targets BC Government has acted on many recommendations (i.e.: tobacco regulations, school/ public building food guidelines, physical activity in schools, ActNow BC, etc.)

BC Community Capacity Building Strategy 70 community based projects led in partnership with local organizations & champions
9 Healthy Eating: A Focus on Families Target population: Adults (35 54) and their children Rationale: Research: poor consumption of veggies & fruit in adults and children Trend towards increasing obesity in children Food insecurity is related to poor access & consumption of veggies & fruit and consumption of unhealthy choices Family/home environment offers: Potential to increase exposure/availability of nutritious foods, reduce availability of unhealthy choices to children, model healthy eating behaviours, and share cooking skills
10 Healthy Eating Initiatives 1. Healthy Food and Beverage Sales (where families work, play and learn) 2. Farm to School Salad Bar 3. Food Skills for Families 4. SipSmart BC!
11 Physical Activity Strategy Budget: $6.0 M Target: Inactive adults aged 35 to 54 years Rationale: High rates of physically inactive (44.1%) 43% of the BC population Accessed in health promotion settings: community, workplace, and health services Potential to reach and influence other populations including: Children and youth Older adults and parents Targeting this group will also have an impact on healthy aging, which has positive ramifications as this group moves into an older demographic
12 Tobacco Reduction Strategy Budget: $4.54 M Target Population: Young Adults (19 29) Rationale: Highest prevalence rate in BC More likely than older adults to be social smokers 45% of daily smokers began between the ages of 18 and 29 years More likely to be exposed to second hand smoke Cigarette companies have invested heavily to capture young adult smoker Percent yr age categories Smoking Prevalence
13 Capacity Building Focus 4 Key Functions: 1. Strengthen Regional Networks 2. Align BCHLA Initiatives with existing groups 3. Build Capacity in At Risk/Priority Communities 4. Expand Opportunities for BCHLA Initiatives
14 Healthy Living Initiatives Reach Impacted 229 BC communities, many rural, remote and Aboriginal 36,700 British Columbians actively participated Additional 1,237,800 were exposed to the messaging
15 BCHLA Policy and Advocacy BCHLA commissioned a study on social and economic determinants Undertook survey of attitudes including interviews and conversations with representatives from vulnerable groups Held regional discussions with multisector groups to add to input
16 Healthy Futures for BC Families BCHLA Policy Discussion Forums Four held around province in partnership with health authorities To build cross sectoral consensus on policies to address those social issues that can impede or enhance the health of a society
17 POLICY: Healthy Futures for BC Families Social Determinants of Health Income & food security, early childhood development & care, housing, education & literacy, health equity, supportive environments, transportation
18
19 POLICY: Healthy Futures for BC Families Early Childhood Development & Care Extend parental leave ~18 months Universal Childcare more quality spaces Pre & After school programs Cont d support for Aboriginal Head Start Increase training & wages for ECE workers
20
21 POLICY: Healthy Futures for BC Families Security in Income, Food & Home Poverty reduction plan Income Assistance [healthy diet, real rental costs & indexed to inflation] Increase child tax benefit & supplement [$5100] Full spectrum of housing for those in need As family income falls, the likelihood that children will experience problems increases. Rates of poor health, hyperactivity and delayed vocabulary development have been shown in low income families.
22 New policy work: Tackling Childhood Obesity Ban Marketing to Children Health Promoting Schools Improve Access to Healthy Foods in Rural & Remote Communities Targets and timelines for industry to drastically reduce sodium, fat and sugar content in packaged foods. Taxation of sugar sweetened beverages Healthy Built Environments planning with healthy living lens, active transport & revitalized recreation facilities
23 Advocacy Recent Activities Presentations to Government Committees Published new Papers: Healthy Living in BC The Next Generation; Recommendations for Tackling Overweight and Obesity in BC Development of paper with a Healthy Families lens to align with new Premier s priorities Continuing work on development of policies on alcohol
24 What We Know Policy environments and physical environments support healthy lifestyles Healthy living starts with communities Health Equity Focus on interventions that lessen disparities Whole of government, whole of society approach
25 Partnerships & Coalitions Why build partnerships and coalitions? Requirements for effective partnerships and coalitions Personal Leadership for coalition building Some real life experiences! BCHLA examples and lessons learned
26 Why Build Partnerships & Coalitions? Can t do it all alone especially where major shifts in public opinion or behaviour required Decision makers more responsive to the power behind coalitions Can be more effective in delivering programs, advocating policy, integrating knowledge Greater flexibility and allows organizations to maintain identity but still be part of a larger group
27 Challenges Difficult to get partners who have different priorities to work together on common goal Need to set aside personal/organizational interests for good of coalition Advocacy may be watered down to get support from all Other priorities emerge and interest in the coalition may wane Leadership changes may impact on coalition
28 Core Values Collaborative: BCHLA will be collaborative in all its work, as this forms the basis for leveraging the strengths of the members, extending abilities, and engaging diverse audiences and vulnerable populations. Visionary and forward thinking: BCHLA will have foresight in its planning, will work towards the visions of a healthy British Columbia, and will be receptive to promising and creative approaches in health promotion. Accountable: BCHLA is reliable, dependable and accountable in its actions
29 Goals 1. Alliance Building Build and sustain the commitment and participation of the members of the Alliance. 2. Chronic Disease Prevention and Healthy Living Work to reduce the prevalence of risk factors for chronic disease. Work to reduce the health inequities that contribute to chronic disease.
30 Progress to date $ 25 million Winning Legacy initiatives completed but many of the initiatives are continuing 202 organizations participated in forums from many sectors to provide input to Healthy Futures for BC Families policy recommendations for improving the health of British Columbians September 2009 Participate in many alliances to promote policy agenda poverty reduction, obesity strategy, healthy built environment, healthy child development etc. Continuing to update policy agenda based upon new evidence and new opportunities for action
31 BCHLA Elements for Success Integrated approach across chronic disease spectrum Collaborative approach, building on one another s strengths Working with non traditional partners
32 BC Healthy Living Alliance An alliance in and of itself But also part of web of involvement with other alliances, coalitions, networks. Need to maintain identity but contribute to others agendas Need to understand the limits as well as flexibility to help reach solutions Patience, time and commitment
33 More elements of success Clear terms of reference and processes Evidence & consensus Evaluation Political will Public is supportive due to BC s active population Alignment with CDPAC Canada wide support for chronic disease prevention
34 Requirements for effective partnerships/coalitions Need clear Terms of Reference Need clear processes for reaching consensus, decisions, resolving conflicts Recognize equality even though some members may be more powerful in their own right Clarity around role, branding of coalition Life cycle of coalitions may be time limited around issues, activities okay to let go. Appropriate infrastructure to support coalition
35 Personal Leadership for coalition building Listening to others Willing to compromise Shared roles Trusting Conflict resolution without blaming Flexible within certain boundaries
36 What is next for Nordlund? Consider some of the elements of success that BCHLA has had Are there lessons that would be applicable for Nordlund? What other information might you require?
