Respiratory Health in Canada Mapping Tool
The National Lung Health Framework’s mapping tool provides key lung health statistics for each Canadian province and territory (as available) in an easy-to-understand visual format.
The Framework has also created a series of slideshows to be used by anyone wishing to share reputable, national statistics and Framework information. The slideshows are available, free, for download. You are encouraged to use the slides in your presentations, reports and discussions. Note that the Framework logo has been embedded into each slide. This logo must not be covered, removed or distorted when presenting an image or piece of information from a slide created by the Framework.
