Editor's Notes

  1. EAL = English as an Additional Language   Re #3     to raise awareness of health literacy; enhance recent immigrants’ settlement, integration and wellbeing; and improve overall population health
  2. This framework is consistent with population health approaches that recognize “health is a capacity or resource rather than a state” (Frankish, et al, 1996).
  3. People draw upon health literacy skills
  4. Individual issues include reading and writing ability Other barriers include:  declines associated with aging; low levels of formal education; lack of health knowledge and skills;  having a mother tongue other than English or French;  living with disabilities; social stigma;  and experiences in early childhood. (from Expert Panel, 2008)
  5. Others are listed, but I suggest these are particularly relevant to today's presentation.
  6. All definitions on slides 14 - 16 come from Statistics Canada's
  7. [Geographic name] The total population count includes the non-immigrant population, the immigrant population and the non-permanent resident population. The non-permanent resident population is not shown separately in this table.   [Total population] Non-immigrants are persons who are Canadian citizens by birth. Although most Canadian citizens by birth were born in Canada, a small number were born outside Canada to Canadian parents.   [Non-immigrant population] Immigrants are persons who are, or have ever been, landed immigrants in Canada. A landed immigrant is a person who has been granted the right to live in Canada permanently by immigration authorities. Some immigrants have resided in Canada for a number of years, while others are more recent arrivals. Most immigrants are born outside Canada, but a small number were born in Canada. Includes immigrants who landed in Canada prior to Census Day, May 16, 2006.   [Immigrated between 2001 & 2006] Includes immigrants who landed in Canada prior to Census Day, May 16, 2006.
  8. CMA     A census metropolitan area must have a total population of at least 100,000 of which 50,000 or more live in the urban core   CA    A census agglomeration must have an urban core population of at least 10,000. CD    Group of neighbouring municipalities joined together for the purposes of regional planning and managing common services (such as police or ambulance services). These groupings are established under laws in effect in certain provinces of Canada. For example, a census division might correspond to a county, to a municipalité régionale de comté or a regional district.
