Photos Wanted!

DSC_0039

What stops people from being able to make healthy choices in your community?  Lack of sidewalks?  Inaccessible recreation space?  Can you show it to us in a photo or two?  Health in Common is looking for your photos of systemic and policy driven barriers to your healthy sustainable community.  We’d like to build a collection of photos from across Manitoba that could be used in presentations, promotional materials for Health in Common, and in a photo album on our website.

Please send your photos to contact@healthincommon.ca and be sure to let us know where the photo was taken, along with a bit of a caption to tell your story.  Thanks in advance – we can’t wait to see what you send in!
