Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic showed us the importance of collaboration in responding to health emergencies. The public health literature suggests that collaborative partnerships are required to tackle large emergency issues. We propose a study to study further how cities can bring together community-based organizations, together with public health, in responding to emergencies. We plan to investigate the COVID-19 response, the drug toxicity response, and the cold weather response in Saskatoon, to understand how collective action help vulnerable people in an emergency, and to uncover what other cities can learn from the Saskatoon experience.
