Healthy Futures: The Need for Action, authored by LEAP | Pecaut Centre for Social Impact in research partnership with Boston Consulting Group (BCG), critically examines factors influencing our pressing health challenges. While recognizing Canada’s progress on key policies and programs, the report exposes deep inequities in healthy behaviours among vulnerable demographics, identifies gaps in the current public health infrastructure, and calls out a need for multi-sectoral partnerships, community-driven solutions, and application of socio-ecological models that address social determinants of health.
LEAP has launched a new accelerator to scale initiatives that will help Canadians move more, sit less, eat better, and stop smoking. Called Healthy Futures, the accelerator will support innovative solutions that help to prevent the unhealthy behaviours contributing to chronic diseases affecting Canadians.
