The Best and Worst Places to be a Woman in Canada

To mark International Women’s Day on March 8, 2019, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) released, The Best and Worst Places to be a Woman in Canada 2019 – The Gender Gap in Canada’s 26 Biggest Cities.  In this fifth edition, the mandate continues to look at gender equality trends in Canadian cities—as part of a larger agenda to advance women’s rights and well-being.

The World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Global Gender Gap Index ranked Canada in 30th place in 2015, and in 35th place in 2016. Canada turned this around by moving up the index to 16th place in 2017 and holding that position in 2018 — the direct result of a boost in women’s representation in the federal cabinet after the 2015 election.  Notably, two key women Ministers have recently resigned from the Federal Cabinet.

Brock CHC In Brief

Building a Healthier Community

Brock Community Health Centre (Brock CHC) is a community health service for residents of Brock Township and surrounding areas, an area in Ontario where, by all accounts, there has been an inadequate range of primary health services available for many years.  Community advocacy by a committed group of local residents resulted in the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care providing funding for a community health centre for Brock Township residents in late 2007.

Brock CHC is non-profit charitable organization, registered in Ontario, governed by a Board of Directors, representing the communities of Brock Township and surrounding areas.  The Board is elected annually from the organization’s membership.  Brock CHC’s Letters Patent were issued in 2002.

Brock Community Health Centre

Brock Community Health Centre (Brock CHC) assists individuals, families and community organizations to identify local health issues and to develop and implement programs that address these needs.

We believe that good health means more than not being ill.  It means access to affordable housing and adequate food, opportunities for education and employment with a living wage and residing in an environment that is clean and safe.

We welcome community members to join and participate with us as we strive to improve the health of our community.

Community Health Services Integration

Brock Community Health Centre is one of ten local community health services (CHS) organizations in Durham Region which have developed an integration plan to improve access for local residents and ensure that CHS providers — their staff, volunteers and board members — are ready to better address the community health services needs of a growing population.
