This year, we’ve seen what’s possible when communities come together: experiments to address working poverty, strategies to strengthen belonging, infrastructure for entrepreneurs, and new narratives about how capital can serve people and places. These signs of progress remind us that well-being is a shared responsibility - and that together, we can design systems rooted in dignity, fairness, and trust. As we look ahead, let’s keep asking: How will we build wellbeing together.
The State of Public Health in Canada
Tamarack is among organizations referenced in The Public Health Agency of Canada’s new report, Working Together to Thrive: Well-being and Public Health. This report calls for a shared focus on well-being that creates the conditions for current and future generations to thrive on a healthy planet. It urges stronger cross-sector collaboration and a reimagining of how we work together for change.
