Healthy Living for All
Formed in February 2003, the BC Alliance for Healthy Living (BCAHL) is a group of organizations that came together with a mission to improve the health of British Columbians through every stage of life.
Our members and partners include health-promoting non-profits and health authorities and together, we support policies and programs that promote healthy living to prevent chronic disease throughout BC.
What we do
Promoting Healthy Policies
BCAHL works to advance and support health-promoting policies, environments, programs and services so that people in BC have equal opportunities to be healthy. Our efforts are centred on addressing common risk factors and underlying determinants that contribute to chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular and lung diseases, and type 2 diabetes.
