A Toronto website sheds light on community 's health needs.
"While the Toronto Community Health Profiles Partnership website is primarily intended to help planners reduce health inequalities, the average person will find some interesting facts about where they live: for instance, parkland area per capita and the levels of physical inactivity in local communities. . . .
