Our Members

The Coordinating Committee enacts the vision, mission, guiding principles and goals by providing collaborative leadership in relation to setting positions, broad policy, and strategic directions.

It also serves as a link to other provincial and national alliances, in particular, the Chronic Disease Prevention Alliance of Canada. To avoid potential conflict of interest on policy issues, some coordinating committee members do not vote on decisions.
