Wondering how to integrate Health Equity into town planning? 

In this workshop we will work with your town plans and bylaws in real time to integrate health equity into the planning process. We will be focusing on food access and transportation. Each participant will walk away with next steps and resources to bring back to your community as you implement planning for health equity in your town!
