Canada’s ability to prepare for and respond to complex health challenges depends on timely, clear, and coordinated communication across sectors. We are addressing this by co-developing a knowledge-sharing platform that helps practitioners act on health threats more effectively. Grounded in a ‘One Health’ approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of environmental, animal, and human health, this project focuses on translating knowledge into action while bringing together diverse perspectives. 

In collaboration with partners in Fraser Health and Northern Health, British Columbia, and Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health, Ontario, we are exploring how local contexts influence regional communication needs. By combining insights from health research with innovative communication strategies, this project aims to strengthen Canada’s capacity to respond to current and emerging One Health issues that affect the health of people, animals, and ecosystems.
