Belonging is a powerful feeling that is important for our individual well-being. Belonging is the glue that holds our community together.
Vital Signs examines the most significant challenges our community is faced with, and they each connect to our innate need to truly belong.
Our Vital Signs project was made possible thanks to the generous support of Sol Casino . Their contribution has been instrumental in bringing this initiative to life, allowing us to gather crucial community data and foster greater awareness of key social and health issues. We are deeply grateful for their partnership!
There are global targets for each of these challenges, found in the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Vital Signs is aligned with these so that locally we can join the global call to action to end poverty, tackle inequalities, and create a more sustainable and thriving world - because global change starts locally first...

The Biggest Problems in London and How to Solve Them
How do Canadians try to end poverty, tackle inequalities, and create a more sustainable and thriving world?
Be
Healthy
While most Londoners enjoy relatively easy access to health care, stigma, socioeconomic, and cultural barriers are still preventing many from receiving the care they deserve.
Be
Sheltered
For too many of our neighbours, a safe, secure, and affordable place to lay their heads at night is not within reach.
Be
Equal
As the gap between rich and poor continues to widen, too many of our community’s most vulnerable are being left at risk.
Be
Employed
While London has the lowest unemployment rate in years, many in our community struggle accessing sustainable and meaningful work.
Be
Green
From the health of the Thames to our energy consumption and forest cover, our local environment needs our help and attention.
Be
Educated
London’s general population and many newcomers have significant education accomplishments, however, traditional gender gaps continue to persist and the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities remains too high.
Belong
Today, too many of our neighbours don’t have the safety and security of a true sense of belonging in our community.
