To empower the community of Ontario to take ownership of its health and make Ontario a model city by improving physical, social, economic health, and well-being.
By producing a clear map that will be distributed to the public upon completion through a city publication, the hopes are that knowledgeable residents will live more healthful and physically active lifestyles that will be passed down through the generations.
An additional positive outcome that this map will provide will illustrate the status of what the city currently provides for its residents and highlight what is needed or missing. The hopes are that the city and county planning departments can visually see what is lacking from a healthy environment and if more attention needs to be drawn to the transportation, parks, recreation, etc. sectors and what has already successfully been planned.
