That day is getting closer. Experts from across the country are hard at work, under the leadership of the Hon. Roy J. Romanow, Dr. Ron Colman, and others to create a new measuring tool that will link the economic reality and longer-term economic prosperity of our country with the social, health and environmental conditions that shape our communities. The latest issue of Reality Check Magazine has the scoop on the CIW, how it can help foster a common vision for the future of Canada and be used as a basis for improving health and wellbeing outcomes that matter to Canadians.
