Federal Election 2015 Health Equity Impact Assessment

Wellesley Institute teamed up with Saskatoon’s Upstream to see what the 2015 federal candidates had to say about health. The health equity impact assessment was applied to 4 subjects found in the candidates platforms: a national drug program; housing; employment and income; early childhood education and care. Last we ask, what aren’t the candidates talking about that they should be?

Thanks to our partners in the social determinants of health at Upstream for working with us on this important piece.

Acknowledgement of Traditional Land

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the Wellesley Institute operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
