***RESPONSE***

Some of the provincial Healthy Community networks in Canada have their
own Web site
and you may find their information relevant to your needs. Of course
this depends on
how you broadly define "health information".  In terms of fostering
intersectoral
partnerships however, they are a great place to go for both conceptual
and practical
expertise.

BC's site can be found at: http://www.bchealthycommunities.com/

Ontario's: http://www.opc.on.ca/ohcc/

Quebec's is under construction as is the national site.  I'll announce
their URLs
here when they are available (soon).

Please note you will also also be able to link to numerous Healthy
Community sites from
around the world by accessing the above mentioned sites.

Hope this helps.
