The background information in the report is based on the Statement of Work for the Adult Working Group (AWG), Health and Knowledge Learning Centre (HKLC) developed by AWG co-chairs Hélène Grégoire and Allan Quigley in January 2006.
In June 2005, the Canadian Council on Learning (CCL) held a Health and Learning Knowledge Centre (HLKC) consultation in Vancouver, British Columbia. At the consultation, participants agreed to establish six working groups to address the work of HLKC. These working groups address life stages in health and learning and concentrate on settings, places, and communities where health and learning takes place. The HLKC will coordinate and organize its work according to both the life stages and settings. The six working groups include:
| Working Group Area | Settings / Communities to be Addressed |
