Sub-Committees

Much of the work of Partners in Healthy Living Ottawa takes place within the various sub committees. The committees are organized by target population, issue, or geographical area. The sub committees were/are created from the Partners in Healthy Living Ottawa structure and their work is the main focus of the activity and process within the sub-committees. Although the mandate or raison d'être may have come from a larger unit of Partners in Healthy Living Ottawa, each sub-committee develops its own terms of reference within the overall structure.
