Revelstoke, a rural community in the Interior of BC, has had some of the best developmental health outcomes for children and youth in BC over time, as measured by HELP’s population level monitoring system. Through the project, data sets will be aligned across age groups and over time to explore the contribution of community resilience to maintaining positive outcomes, particularly post-COVID-19.
