As a result of the formation of the Canadian Consortium and the networking that has taken place between Centres over the years, several joint research projects have emerged. These projects represent the exchange and consolidation of views and approaches, the application of theories and concepts in different settings across Canada, and the exploration of similarities and differences in health promotion practice in Canada.
