EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TheRichmondCommunityWellnessStrategyisoneoffourinter-relatedstrategiesthatservetoachieveaCouncil-endorsedinitiative:theRichmondCommunity ofExcellence forSport andWellness.Under the vision of Richmond being themost appealing, livableand well-managed community in Canada, this strategy is a keycomponenttothatend.
The Community Wellness Strategy was created in cooperationwith three local public agencies: the City of Richmond, theVancouver Coastal Health Authority and the Richmond SchoolDistrict.Communitystakeholderswerealsoinvolved.Aconsultantconductedtheworkshops,interviewsandresearch,soanobjectiveapproachwasensured.
When first conceived, the Community Wellness Strategy wasfocusedonachievingan increase inphysicalactivityasawayofreachingtheCity’svision.However,aftertheconsultativeinterviewsandfeedback,itbecameclearthatphysicalwellnesscannothappenindependently.Itcorrelatesstronglywithresidentshavingasenseofconnectednesstotheircommunity,andacommitmenttowellnessandwell-being.
This strategy therefore cannot just focus on increased physicalactivityandbeassuredofincreasingcommunitywellness.Itneedstopromotecommunityconnectednessinassociationwithpromotingphysicalactivity,asthetwogohand-in-hand.
Some key observations were found to affect and direct theCommunityWellness Strategy; one being the high population ofvisible minorities and immigrants in Richmond who do not useEnglishtocommunicateathome.Therefore,itisimperativethatthisWellnessStrategyneedstobeinclusiveofadiverserangeofculturaland ethnic needs. Having said that, immigrants arrive here veryhealthy.Asaresult,RichmondboaststhehighestlifeexpectancyinCanada.
Other key findings conclude Richmond residents are not asoverweightasotherBCresidentsandwesmokeless.Atthesametime,weappeartobelessphysicallyactiveandeatfewerfruitsandvegetables.ThereisalowersenseofbelongingtothecommunityforRichmondresidents(comparedtotherestofBC).Andforchildrenandteens,thereseemstobearelativelylowinvolvementinsportandhighproportionofelectronicscreentime.

Introduction
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Richmond as a Community of Excellence for Sport and Wellness
InOctober2007,RichmondCityCouncilendorsedtheCommunityofExcellenceforSportandWellnessinitiative.Thisisapartnership-basedinitiativeaimedatpositioningRichmondtobethebestplaceforresidentstoplayandachievetheirhighestpotential,whilealsobeingamodelfora‘SportforLife’communityinCanadaandtheworld.

toenhancetheCity’sliveability
TheRichmondCommunityofExcellence forSport andWellnessinitiative identifies the need to develop four complementary andinterrelatedstrategies:• CommunityWellnessStrategy• ComprehensiveSportsDevelopmentStrategy• OlympicandParalympicInvolvement&LegacyStrategy• RichmondSportTourismStrategy
This document is Richmond’s Community Wellness Strategy. Itoutlinesan integrated,holisticandcollaborativewellnessstrategyforRichmond;onewhichbuildsonourstrengths,andidentifiesandaddressesthegaps.

1.2 Goals of the Strategy
TheRichmondCommunityWellnessStrategyisintendedtoprovidea strategic framework to guide the planning and development ofwellnesspromotingprogramsandactivitiesthroughoutRichmond.Thestrategyisnotabout‘reinventingthewheel’,butaboutputtingaframeworkaroundmuchofwhatwealreadydo,whileidentifyingandfillinginsomeofthegapsinservicedelivery.
This strategy is intended to contribute to meeting the followingActNowBCgoals(seesection1.5.4):• Increaseinphysicalactivity• Decreaseinoverweightandobesityrates• Increaseinfruitandvegetableconsumption• Decreaseinsmokingrates
WhilethisstrategyhasthebroadaimtomeetallfourActNowBCgoals,theprimaryfocusisonthefirstgoal.
1.3 A Collaborative Effort
It is intended that this strategy be endorsed by the three leadorganizations that worked in partnership to develop it (City ofRichmond, Vancouver Coastal Health and Richmond SchoolDistrict)alsobythemanycommunityagenciesthatcontributedtoits development. It is further anticipated that the strategywill beusedasaframeworkforanongoing,holistic,collaborativeefforttomaximizecommunitywellnessinRichmond.
1.4 Defining Wellness
Wellnessoftenmeansdifferent things todifferentpeople.For themostpart,peopleusethetermtodescribeastateofwell-beingthatisholisticinperspectiveandbeyondmerelyhavinggoodphysicalhealth.Thedefinition employedby this strategy is the broad andinclusiveonethatisusedbytheWorldHealthOrganization1:

Introduction
“Wellnessistheoptimalstateofhealthofindividualsandgroups.Therearetwofocalconcerns:therealizationofthefullestpotentialof an individual physically, psychologically, socially, spirituallyeconomically, and the fulfillment of one’s role and expectationsinthefamily,community,placeofworship,workplaceandothersettings”
Wellness can therefore be viewed from both individual andcommunity perspectives. However, individual and communitywellnessdonotexistinisolationofeachother.Noneofuscanreachourfullestpotentialwithoutasupportivecommunity.Asupportivecommunity,at thesametime, isbuiltuponsupportiveindividualscoming together for the wellness of the whole. Richmond’sCommunity Wellness Strategy is focused on the notion of aninteractiveandinterdependentcommunityandindividualwellness– how our community can support each one of us to achieveoptimalwellnessandhoweachoneofuscancontributetocreatingcommunitywellness.
1.5 Why do we need a Wellness Strategy?
Communitywellnessisimportanttoallofusandiscentraltothesuccess of many key agencies in Richmond, including the threepartners who developed this strategy. While Richmond excelsin many aspects of community wellness, there are areas whereimprovements are required. It is important to coordinate efforts,buildonourstrengths,andidentifyandrespondtoourweaknesses.Weallhaveastakeinachievingthis.
1.5.1 How wellness contributes to the City’s vision and mandate
TheCityofRichmond’svisionistobethemostappealing,livableandwell-managedcommunity inCanada.Communitywellness isobviouslyattheheartofthisvision,andsoCityeffortsneedtobecoordinatedtowardthisend.
TheParks, Recreation and Cultural Services (PRCS) Master Plan 2005-2015 positionstheCitytostrivefor“aconnected,healthycitywherewecooperatetocreateandenjoyadynamicandsustainablequalityoflife.”SincetheMasterPlanwasendorsedbyCouncil,allthePRCSDepartment’splanningdocumentshaveconsistentlyfocussedonhowtoachievethatvision.TheCommunityWellnessStrategyunifiesandsupports thosepiecesof theplanningframework.Thedesiredoutcomesofthisstrategy(asoutlinedinChapter3)describethebenefitsorresultsthatwillbeexperiencedbyindividualsandthecommunitythroughwhichtheprogramsandservicesareprovided.

There is not a set of commonly agreed indicators of communitywellness.An action item for our strategy is the development ofa framework for regularly reporting on the state of wellness inRichmond.
2.1.1 Demographics
Table1andTable2containselecteddatafromtheCanadianCensus2006.InRichmond,visibleminoritiesandimmigrantsnowcomprisethe majority of the population. Moreover, two out of every fiveRichmondresidentsarerecentarrivals,havingimmigratedin1996or later. It is alsoofnote that45per centofRichmond residentsdo not use English to communicate at home. The implication isclear:ourcommunitywellnessstrategyhas tobe inclusiveof theperspectivesandneedsofmanyculturalandethnicheritages.

2.5 PRCS Community Needs Assessment
The City of Richmond undertook a 2009 Parks, Recreation andCultureCommunityNeedsAssessment.Thestudy’spurposewastogainanin-depthunderstandingoftheparks,recreationandculturalprogramandserviceneedsoftheRichmondcommunity.Richmondis a diverse community and this study’s intentionwas to provideclearrecommendationsonhowtheCityanditspartnerscanmeetthefutureneedsofallsegmentsofourcommunity.Theobjectivesofthestudywereto:• Assessawarenessof,participation levels inandsatisfaction

• Identifyunmetneedsanddeterminecurrentgaps inserviceandprograms
• Identifybarrierstoparticipation,particularlyamonghard-to-reachsegmentsofthecommunity

2010-2015 Richmond Community Wellness Strategy‘LivingWellinRichmond’
The main finding from the study is that residents feel the Citycurrentlydoesanexcellentjobofprovidingparks,recreationalandcultural facilities and services.Overall levels of participation arehighandresidentsmakeexcellentuseofpublicfacilities.ThevastmajorityofresidentsfeelthattheCityprovidessufficient:• parks,playgroundsandtrails(83%)• recreationandculturalfacilities(81%)• recreational, cultural and instructional programs/drop-ins
(84%)
Outstanding needs are relatively minor and can be accuratelypositioned as refinements to an already well-developed andfunctioning system of public leisure services. The study resultedin 39 recommendations (see Appendix D). Highlights of theserecommendationsinclude:• TheCityshouldcontinuetoworkwithitscommunitypartners
toreachallculturalcommunitiesandraiseawarenessaboutthefullrangeofPRCSservices.
• The City should continue to reach out to newcomers toRichmond and educate them about Richmond’s extensivepublicfacilitiesandservices.
• The City should continue to evaluate how information isdisseminated via itswebsite and the Parks,Recreation andCultureGuide,whilealsoensuring’thatappropriateresourcesare allocated to ensure the provision of effective onlinecommunication.
• The City should continue to promote volunteerism withan emphasis on stressing and promoting the benefits ofvolunteerismtonewCanadians.
• ThatthereshouldbeareviewandpossibleexpansionoftheRichmondtrailsystem.
• That there should be continued work to explore the issueof increased dog off-leash areas and that this work shouldtakeintoaccounttheviewsofbothdogownersandnon-dogowners.
These recommendations will be incorporated into the futureworkplans of City of Richmond staff within the relevantdepartments. The recommendations are also being shared withpartnerorganizationsandstakeholders.
The implementation of these recommendations will significantlycontributetowellnessoutcomesinRichmond.

The findings about Richmond regarding wellness are notsurprising.ThedemographyofRichmond is rapidly changing, inlarge part due to recent immigration trends.Over half (57%) oftheRichmondresidentsareimmigrantsandmorethan40%oftheimmigrant population have lived in Canada for 10 years or less.Thesedemographicchangesaretellingustopaymoreattentiontocommunitybelongingaswethinkabouthowtomakeourcommunityevenbetter.

3 BUILDING A WELLNESS STRATEGY
3.1 Vision
This Community Wellness Strategy was originally envisionedas focusing primarily on physical activity as representing a keycomponent of wellness. However, in reviewing the backgroundliteratureandobtainingfeedbackfromstakeholders,itbecameclearthatphysicalwellnesscannotbeeasilyseparatedfromotheraspectsofwellness.
Physical wellness correlates strongly with an overall sense ofpersonal well-being, wellness and a sense of belonging to one’scommunity. Information from the Canadian Community HealthSurvey shows that physical activity and ‘sense of belonging’ arerelatedatthepopulationlevel.
This strategy therefore cannot just focus on increased physicalactivityandbeassuredofincreasingcommunitywellness.Itneedstopromotecommunityconnectednessinassociationwithpromotingphysical activity, as the two go hand-in-hand. Indeed, availableinformationpointstoimprovingphysicalactivityandthesenseofbelongingasprioritiesforadvancingwellnessinRichmond.
3.2 Desired Outcomes
While the CommunityWellness Strategy has a strong emphasisonphysicalwell-being,it isacknowledgedthatit is importantforthe strategy to also include the broader determinants ofwellnessspecifically for Richmond and the need to improve the sense ofbelonging among our citizens.A set of desired outcomes for theStrategyarethereforeforourcitizenstohave:• Increasedpermanentcommitmenttowellnessandwellbeing• Increasedphysicalactivityandphysicalfitness• Increasedsenseofconnectednesstocommunity–afeelingof
belonging
