  • Targeted Residential Fire Risk Reduction a Summary of At-Risk Aboriginal Areas in Canada
    Targeted Residential Fire Risk Reduction A Summary of At-Risk Aboriginal Areas in Canada Len Garis, Sarah Hughan, Paul Maxim, and Alex Tyakoff October 2016 Executive Summary Despite the steady reduction in rates of fire that have been witnessed in Canada in recent years, ongoing research has demonstrated that there continue to be striking inequalities in the way in which fire risk is distributed through society. It is well-established that residential dwelling fires are not distributed evenly through society, but that certain sectors in Canada experience disproportionate numbers of incidents. Oftentimes, it is the most vulnerable segments of society who face the greatest risk of fire and can least afford the personal and property damage it incurs. Fire risks are accentuated when property owners or occupiers fail to install and maintain fire and life safety devices such smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors in their homes. These life saving devices are proven to be highly effective, inexpensive to obtain and, in most cases, Canadian fire services will install them for free. A key component of driving down residential fire rates in Canadian cities, towns, hamlets and villages is the identification of communities where fire risk is greatest. Using the internationally recognized Home Safe methodology described in this study, the following Aboriginal and Non- Aboriginal communities in provinces and territories across Canada are determined to be at heightened risk of residential fire. These communities would benefit from a targeted smoke alarm give-away program and public education campaign to reduce the risk of residential fires and ensure the safety and well-being of all Canadian citizens.

  • Health Profile – Thunder Bay District Integrated District Network
    Health Profile – Thunder Bay District Integrated District Network May 2012 North West LHIN RLISS du Nord-Ouest Health Profile for Thunder Bay District Integrated District Network (IDN) Introduction This profile is one of a series of five profiles for each of the proposed Integrated District Networks (IDN)s. Three of the five IDN areas correspond to three of four current sub-LHIN planning areas – Rainy River District, City of Thunder Bay (and surrounding area) and Thunder Bay District (excluding city of Thunder Bay and surrounding area). The fourth and fifth proposed IDNs are formed from the current Kenora District sub-LHIN planning area. The Northern IDN is proposed to encompass Sioux Lookout and all First Nations communities north of Sioux Lookout. The remaining part of Kenora District (including Red Lake, Kenora and Dryden) will be referred to as Kenora District IDN. The map illustrates the North West LHIN’s current sub-LHIN planning areas showing communities that have acute care hospitals. Figure 1: Map of the North West LHIN The Thunder Bay District sub-LHIN planning area of the North West LHIN corresponds to the Thunder Bay District Census Division (CD) excluding the City of Thunder Bay census subdivision and the surrounding census subdivisions of Neebing, Oliver Paipoonge, Conmee, Gillies, O’Connor, Shuniah and Fort William 52. Moving forward, it is proposed that the area will be referred to as the Thunder Bay District Integrated District Network (IDN).

  • Conclusion Prevalence, Health Outcomes and Service Availability in Ontario Communities
    ICES 306 This report represents an important first step toward examining patterns of diabetes Conclusion prevalence, health outcomes and service availability in Ontario communities. The findings we present will enable local policymakers and health planners to examine the performance of key measures relevant to diabetes care in a given region or community. This information, in turn, can be used to set regional priorities for program planning and development and can help with the development of regional indicators to measure and guide improvement. LESSONS LEARNED Diabetes prevalence rates were highest in the Greater Toronto Area and in Ontario’s First Nations communities. The last decade has seen a dramatic rise in the prevalence of diabetes in Ontario, affecting all segments of the population and all regions. However, ethnic groups that have a greater predisposition for developing diabetes (those of First Nations, South Asian, African and Hispanic descent) continue to experience the greatest burden of diabetes in terms of disease prevalence and incidence. Our findings call for comprehensive, culturally appropriate diabetes prevention programs targeting high-risk communities, in addition to broader-scale policies aimed at curbing the ongoing rise in obesity and diabetes. Conclusion ICES 307 Diabetes complication rates were highest in findings underscore the need for patient- The distribution of endocrinologists was northern and rural areas of the province— centred models of chronic disease limited largely to major centres.
