Summary:

A report of the activities of the PLURAL: Priorities for Rural and Remote Health project.
"Our project gathered local knowledge through individual and group discussions, as well as through photographs. We were focused on learning about how living in rural and remote places in Nothern BC can impact people's health and access to healthcare....We decided to use photovoice, a photography-based research method, because we wanted to include a visual way of knowing and experiencing the world...This book is our attempt to share what we've learned. We hope readers will come to see Northern BC as we have, full of vibrant communites and opportunities for healthy living."-- Excerpted from summary (page 10-11)
