“. Did you know that...public
policies can be healthy?

: Public policies are made by
municipal, provincial and
federal governments, unions,
community. boards, profes-
sional and voluntary organiza-
tions.

Policies are made about such
issues as employment, educa-
tion, housing, transportation,
business and the environment.
The decisions we make every
day are influenced by these
policies.

Healthy public policies are

developed when policy makers
consider the impact their
policies may have on the health
of people within the communi-
ty.
_ For example, policies can
directly influence the health of
seniors. The mental health of
many seniors is affected by their
ability to get around in-
dependently and interact with
others, A healthy public policy
would ensure that . public
transportation is accessible to
senior citizens, thus enabling
them to get out into the com-
munity.

Physical safety is affected by
policies that provide adequate

sidewalks. and proper snow -

The “Lock [t or Lose It”
program has been very suc-

cessful in the past, and remains -

one of the most prominent pro-
grams in crime prevention at the
Terrace detachment. _ ;

The program was designed to
reduce the number. of . un-
necessary thefts from vehicles,
and the statistics compiled
following the campaign last
December have proven its suc-

’ cess.

The: number of’ reported
thefts from vehicles in
December was drastically reduc-
ed from previous years. During
the month of December 1990,

there were seven reported thefts
from vehicles. In December
1989, there were 31 reported
thefts and in December 1988, 28
reported thefts. ‘

A recent crime analysis report.
indicated that thefts from.
motor vechiles are consistently:
high during spring break. As‘a_-

result of these findings, the Ter-
race RCMP has launched

another “‘Lock It or Lose it'’.

campaign to cover this period.
‘The Terrace RCMP, in con-

junction with auxiliary con--

stables, will check vehicles at
various locations around Ter-

to participate in activities
geared to their needs. This may
improve their independence and

policies such as these are needed
so that individuals can make
healthy choices.

The policies that have been
developed to encourage a smoke
free environment have many
health benefits; These same
policies have economic implica-
tions for the producers and
manufacturers of tobacco pro-
ducts. In addition the rights of
those people who smoke need to
be examined,
