Upcoming Webinar – Communicating Across Sectors on the Social Determinants of Health: The Building Blocks of Health

Thursday, September 17, 2026, from 11 h a.m. to 12:30 p.m. EDT


How can we talk about the social determinants of health in a way that reaches actors from other sectors?

This webinar will present framing strategies developed by FrameWorks UK and The Health Foundation to improve the way we communicate about what shapes health.

Participants will be introduced to the "Building Blocks of Health" metaphor, along with other framing recommendations and concrete examples of how they have been applied.

Municipal Governance and Public Health in Canada

Municipalities act on many of the factors that influence health and wellbeing, which makes them important partners for public health. But how can we better understand municipal dynamics and processes in order to intervene at the right moment, with the right people, and with greater impact?

The NCCHPP is producing a collection of fact sheets on municipal governance. The first three examine the role of municipal councils, and of the municipal administration, as well as how decision-making processes unfold in municipalities.

They provide public health teams with reference points on when, how, and with whom to take action in their efforts to collaborate with municipalities.

An additional document presents the context and methodology that guided the
development of this collection.

All our resources on municipalities are now brought together in a new section of the website: Municipalities and Public Health.
