What’s our
definition?
Healthy and
vibrant
communities
are defined
by our Action
Areas

5. Priority
Outcomes
These priority
outcomes align
most closely
with the Active
People action
area:
Better quality sports programming
Quality sports programs build participation for life.
They rely on trained coaches, safe spaces and
positive approaches to play.
Increased physical activity
More people incorporate regular physical activity
into their daily lives and have access to the right
spaces and facilities.
Increased use of active, sustainable
transportation
People are using active ways to get around. From
getting to school and work, running errands and
visiting friends and family, people have safe,
accessible and convenient transportation options.

6. Priority
Outcomes
These priority
outcomes align
most closely
with the
Inspired
People action
area:
More people plugged in and turned on to the
arts
More people find enrichment through quality artistic
works and programs. These are supported by the right
services and infrastructure.
Enhanced artistic expression by
communities
Community-based artistic expression brings artists and
people together and builds a strong sense of
belonging. It makes diverse communities stronger and
facilitates intergenerational participation.
Greater preservation and appreciation of
heritage
Bringing heritage to life enhances people’s
understanding of themselves and their community.
Preserving and animating collections, languages and
cultural traditions revitalize memory, reshape
knowledge and illuminate lived experience.

7. Priority
Outcomes
These priority
outcomes align
most closely
with the
Connected
People action
area:
Diverse groups participate more deeply in
community life
Communities create more opportunities to bring
together and engage people of various
backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. When
people have a say in decisions that affect them,
they experience a sense of shared purpose and
deeper feelings of belonging.
Enhanced social connections for
vulnerable people
Communities strive to include members who are
socially isolated or are vulnerable to isolation. As
people build positive social ties, form healthy
relationships, volunteer, and access community
supports, they are healthier, happier and more
connected.

8. Priority
Outcomes
These priority
outcomes align
most closely
with the
Prosperous
People action
area:
Reduced economic vulnerability
People vulnerable to poverty need financial literacy,
access to housing, and support systems that will
help them in times of crisis. Reducing vulnerability
will not necessarily solve the underlying problem of
poverty, however it will help prevent crises and
make planning possible.
Increased economic opportunity
To prosper, people need skills, supports and
networks to find meaningful employment or set up
their own business or social enterprise.
Sustainable for local food systems
Sustainable local food systems increase access,
availability and consumption of healthy and local
food. They also improve the environment, increase
food security, and build on Ontario’s strong
agricultural heritage.

9. Priority
Outcomes
These priority
outcomes align
most closely
with the
Promising
Young People
action area:
Children and youth have emotional and
social strengths for life
Children and youth need life skills, positive values,
self-esteem and the ability to make decisions to
succeed. They also need supportive families and
role models who are equipped to help build these
skills.
Youth are positioned for life-long success
Youth are successful when they have the skills to
lead, adapt, create and learn throughout their lives.
Communities have resources and infrastructure in
place for youth to gain and use these skills.

10. Priority
Outcomes
These priority
outcomes align
most closely
with the Green
People action
area:
More ecosystems are protected and restored
Healthy ecosystems like forests, wetlands, grasslands and
waters provide habitat for species, clean our air and water,
stabilize our soil and absorb greenhouse gases. By protecting
and restoring them, we ensure that current and future
generations benefit.
People reduce their impact on the environment
By connecting with their environment and enhancing their
understanding of their impact, people will take action to
decrease energy and water use, reduce pollutants and
greenhouse gases, reduce waste and build green
infrastructure to benefit local communities.
More responsible use and stewardship of our
natural resources
From forestry and agriculture to mining and renewable
energy, Ontario relies on natural resources to drive our
economy and secure our prosperity. By empowering
approaches for industries, businesses and other stakeholders
to be more responsible stewards of our natural resources, we
safeguard our environment for future generations.
