The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario encourages Canadians to make heart-healthy choices. Just as important, they campaign government as well as the public and private sector to develop policies and programs to support healthy communities and reduce inequalities that negatively affect the health and well being of Canadians. A labour of love, indeed.
