Lynn McIntyre has redefined the understanding of health equity and food insecurity in Canadian public health. A distinguished professor at the University of Calgary and a former dean of the Faculty of Health Professions at Dalhousie University, she has re-examined the way in which population health data are compiled by linking socio-economic, gender and ethno-racial determinants to food scarcity.
