EcoHealth Ontario covers the environmental and infrastructure factors that shape daily life in Ontario communities. Browse our main topic areas below, or visit our guides section for step-by-step practical resources.
What makes a neighbourhood livable? Green space access, walkability, air quality, noise levels, and community design all play a role. Our healthy communities coverage looks at the factors that contribute to wellbeing at the neighbourhood level across Ontario.
Life in smaller Ontario municipalities comes with its own considerations: well water, septic systems, walkability, winter maintenance, and community character. Our small town coverage helps you understand what daily life looks like beyond the city limits.
Street design affects everything from physical safety to air quality to mental health. We cover traffic calming, tree canopy, cycling infrastructure, noise, heat islands, and other factors that make streets more or less livable for the people who live on them.
From municipal drinking water to basement flooding to stormwater management, water infrastructure is one of the most important and least visible parts of community health. We cover what Ontario residents need to know about the water systems around them.
Practical information on conservation authorities, environmental regulations, energy efficiency programs, radon testing, pesticide bylaws, and other resources available to Ontario homeowners and residents.
Step-by-step practical guides for Ontario residents. Covering everything from evaluating environmental quality when moving to understanding your municipal water report and improving home energy efficiency.
