Halifax

Halifax: Its the first time the Community-Driven Health Impact Assessment Tool will be developed for any community in Halifax. It will enable residents to have a say in decisions that affect their lives, according to The Chronicle Herald. They dont have a voice, they dont have a say in decision-making, they dont have that kind of power, they dont have that kind of prestige and A groundbreaking research study focused on how race, gender, sexual orientation, income, education and disability affect the health of African-Nova Scotians and aboriginal people in north-end Halifax will help residents develop a tool to evaluate programs or services before they re implemented to determine the impact they might have on the neighbourhood. So for the first time, the community has a voice, which is something that African-Nova Scotians and Mi kmaq individuals and other racialized people often dont have, the projects principal investigator, Ingrid Waldron, said in a recent interview.
