REPORT (Public Health Agency of Canada) Report on the State of Public Health in Canada 2008: Addressing Health Inequalities

http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/publicat/2008/cphorsphc-respcacsp/pdf/CPHO-Report-e.pdf

This is the first annual report of the Chief Public Health Officer of Canada, Dr. David Butler-Jones, "exploring the public health approach, the health of the Canadian population, variances in health among the population and factors that contribute to health inequalities" (page 19).

Though there is no critical exploration of the role of racialization, the report offers an interesting overview of some current and historical public health initiatives in Canada.
