This atlas defines, measures, and maps wellness for the Province of British Columbia. Using mostly readily available data, the atlas aims to focus on what is right and well with respect to health, instead of taking the traditional approach of emphasizing what is sick and wrong. Maps inform about health regions that, for example, are the most smoke-free, have the largest number of recreational centres and playing fields per capita, or score highest on self-reported wellness indicators. The atlas covers themes related to health determinants, smoke-free environments, food security, physical activity, healthy weights, and wellness outcomes using more than 270 maps, differentiating many of the themes by gender as well as age categories. A refreshing and fascinating look at health and wellness taking an asset approach that shows that the glass is more than half-full!
