Future of Health Promotion
in Canada
Health concerns in Canada are increasingly understood within a global context, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the interconnectedness between national and international health promotion efforts.
Understanding and integrating global health promotion issues and challenges like the global financial crisis, climate change, and the migration crisis highlights their impact on health and the role of health promoters in Canada, contributing to a broader, more inclusive approach to public health.
There is a need for health promoters to adapt to these challenges, underscoring the importance of addressing issues like colonial history, human rights, and social equality.
Twenty-five years of health promotion in Canada involve the evolution of health promotion since key documents like the Lalonde Report and the Ottawa Charter that shaped the field.
A mix of conditions influenced the emergence of health promotion in Canada, including the rise in chronic diseases and social movements. The evolution of health promotion is impacted by government policies, technological advancements, and evidence of effective interventions.
The future of health promotion in Canada is geared towards addressing critical areas such as social context, gender-based violence, health inequities, mental health, and the specific needs of diverse immigrant and refugee populations.
There's a strong emphasis on forging a vision for a more just, sustainable, and healthy society. This vision involves collaboration with municipalities to ensure comprehensive and effective health promotion strategies that are responsive to the diverse needs of the community.
The importance of critical reflective practice in health promotion, policy, and research can be seen in the ongoing debates within academic circles about the nature of health promotion education and its role within the broader health system.
The constraints faced by health promotion practitioners include issues of autonomy, resources, and the challenge of neo-liberalism, emphasizing the importance of advocacy and addressing social determinants of health.
Positive developments, such as the emergence of new leaders in health promotion and the formation of organizations like Health Promotion Canada, indicate a dynamic and evolving field with a focus on interdisciplinary approaches and institutional change.
The study by Ilona Kickbusch emphasizes the interconnected nature of global challenges like the climate crisis, pandemics, and digitalization and emphasizes that health promotion must adapt to these evolving drivers of change and embrace complexity.
There is a necessity to integrate health equity and sustainability challenges, and to recognize the interconnectedness of various influences on health.
The study highlights the significance of understanding how patterns created by the distribution of wealth, knowledge, and life chances can cumulatively affect health and wellbeing over time and throughout the lifespan.
The rapid transformation in technology and social structures necessitates a rethinking of health promotion strategies.

A long-term view is essential for effective health promotion strategies.
This involves considering wider societal impacts and incorporating health considerations into various policy areas beyond traditional healthcare.
The study by Ilona Kickbusch emphasizes the complexity of challenges in global health and the need for transformative agendas, transformative metrics and actions for wellbeing.
The study argues that macro-economic data like GDP are insufficient to measure wellbeing.
It advocates for metrics that reflect the actual experiences of people in terms of health and wellbeing, including environmental sustainability.
The Doughnut Model for Sustainable Development is highlighted as a framework for understanding the balance between meeting human needs (social foundations) and respecting ecological limits (planetary boundaries).
The model represents a holistic approach to health promotion.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a framework for improving health and well-being and creating more sustainable societies, but their potential has not been fully leveraged.
