Hello Madelaine, and the rest of the list.  Ron Labonte here.  A final
draft of the report has been made and shipped to Health Canada, who
commissioned it.  I am copying this reply to Arianne Reza, the senior
policy analyst at Health Canada who oversaw the contract.  At present, I am
unsure what the release/publication status of the report is with Health
Canada.  I would suggest e-mailing Ms. Reza about it directly.  No one that
I am aware is using the indicators we suggest per se, though it has sparked
revitalized interest through healthy communities networks.  There is some
discussion in other sectors of Health Canada to explore using the report as
a base for getting the indicators into use.

Hope this helps!  Salud.
