    Abstract
    Despite limited provincial support, the "healthy community" process has successfully been applied in Okotoks, Alberta. Starting out in 1997 as a pilot project of the Headwaters Health Authority, the process has continued to flourish in a community challenged by rapid growth and its proximity to a major urban centre. Although the Healthy Okotoks Coalition is active in many community improvement projects, sends members to sit on various bylaw committees, and successfully manages individual members' agendas in the name of creating a healthy community, it has yet to take on tough health-related political causes.
     
    Malgré un apport provincial Iimité, la Headwaters Health Authority de la ville d'Okotoks, en Alberta, est parvenue, depuis 1997, à engager un processus de communauté saine. La population accuse une croissance rapide et doit composer avec la proximité d'un ville importante. La Healthy Okotoks Coalition participe à plusieurs projets d'amélioration communautaire, siège à plusieurs comités municipaux et compose avec les obligations individuelles de ses membres. Elle devra cependant faire certains choix difficiles en s'engageant dans des causes politiques reliées à la santé.
