BC Healthy Communities http://www.bchealthycommunities.ca/ Capacity Building Framework Our purpose is to create communities that provide us with the physical, social, economic, environmental, cultural, psychological and spiritual assets that promote health, well-being and the capacity to develop to our full potential. Since human potential is unlimited, capacity building is an ongoing aspect of community life.

  5. Strategic Approach • Building strong, healthy families – not just getting rid of problems… • Implementing values-based governance – not just adopting status quo… • Balancing interests across the Sectors – not competing with each other… • Having ecosystem based land use planning – not just resource development… • Managing an Economy – not just managing economic development… • Clarifying the relationship of people to the land; possession, occupancy and use (tenure) – not just developing the land…
