This report was prepared as part of Canada’s contribution to the 8th Global Conference on Health Promotion, to illustrate the roles that the health sector can play in advancing health equity—both through integrating health equity into the policies, programs and practices of
the health sector as well as through collaboration with other sectors. These are illustrated by concrete examples drawn from across the Canadian health sector, with a particular spotlight on health entities at three different levels of government: the Government of Canada’s Health Portfolio (federal); Alberta Health Services (provincial); and the Saskatoon Health Region (regional). The lessons learned include a number of enabling factors, as well as how to address common challenges that may arise.
