The 2007 annual report, entitled “Pathways to Health and Healing: 2nd Report of Health and Well-being of Aboriginal People in British Columbia,” is an update to the 2001 provincial health officer’s report and provides detailed information on the health and well-being of Aboriginal people compared to other British Columbians. This report discusses the progress that has been made since 2001, and the next steps that may be necessary to further improve the health of Aboriginal people and to close the gap between Aboriginal people and other British Columbians.
