Footprints & Impacts Podcast
A podcast where we uncover how the environment shapes our health and well-being.
Whether you’re curious about how chemicals in your surroundings affect you, or you are looking for practical ways to live a healthier life, you’re in the right place.
Brought to you by the Environmental Health Association of Canada and the Environmental Health Association of Québec, this podcast shines a light on multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), the importance of healthy, least toxic product choices and what it means for those navigating this disability where over 1 million Canadians have a diagnosis of MCS.
We're here to raise awareness, offer resources for accessibility, prevention and build a healthier, inclusive community.
Let's explore how our footprints leave a lasting impact on our health and our planet.
This Podcast is part of the Empowering Community and Removal of Barriers project, funded in part by the Government of Canada's Social Development Partnerships Program, Disability Component.
