Vancouver Coastal Health is seeking North Shore residents to help bring overall health and wellness into sharp focus.
VC H has been collecting survey responses for an online study into well-being but there are gaps in the data for certain areas of the North Shore. The goal is to get responses from two per cent of residents aged 18 and up.
Specifically, the agency is looking for responses from residents in Lions Bay, Deep Cove and the across West Vancouver above the Upper Levels Highway.
"Statistics Canada provides us with data at a municipal level," said Dr. Mark Lysyshyn, medical health Officer at VC H. "However, if we are to create supportive environments for improving health we need to understand what is happening in your neighbourhood."
The survey can be completed at www.myhealthmycommunity.org. The online survey closes June 30. People who take the survey are entered into a draw to win an iPad.
