048 | National Interest #6 – Personal and Community Wellbeing: Building Strength and Resilience

In this episode of Dialogue Over Division, we continue our series on the national interests identified by former Lieutenant Colonel David Redman in his 25-year vision for the country. The sixth national interest, Personal and Community Wellbeing, is foundational to the strength and resilience of our nation. Each national interest matters on its own, but they are deeply interconnected. Without healthy individuals and strong communities, our ability to advance in other areas of national interest is weakened.

We explore how physical, mental, and spiritual health contribute to a thriving society. David discusses the importance of personal responsibility in maintaining health, while also recognizing the role of families, communities, and broader systems of support. Wellbeing is not just about avoiding illness, it is about fostering purpose, resilience, and the capacity to adapt to challenges together.

Our conversation examines how societal pressures, government policy, and cultural influences shape both personal choices and collective health outcomes. Colonel Redman shares practical insights on how communities can be strengthened through proactive approaches to wellness, shared values, and mutual support. By grounding wellbeing in both individual action and community responsibility, we can create a framework that empowers citizens and nurtures unity.

We also highlight the essential role of citizens in shaping a culture of health, one that encourages participation, connection, and long-term investment in the wellbeing of future generations.

Join us as we unpack why personal and community wellbeing is essential to a confident, resilient Canada, and how each of us has a role to play in ensuring it endures.

Because if we neglect the health of ourselves and our communities, how can we expect our nation to flourish?

We hope you enjoyed this series as much as we did!
