Healthy Schools Program

We are currently experiencing a disruption to schools services due to our agency's response to COVID-19. Our services to schools may look a little different this school year. We apologize for this inconvenience.

A healthy school promotes physical, mental, social, and emotional wellbeing for the whole school community. It’s a healthy environment to learn, work, and play. Everyone within the school community has a part to play in achieving the healthiest school possible.

We offer:

• Support for healthy school policy development
• Resources and information to support school health and classroom learning by topic  
• Lending library resources that can be borrowed from the Health Unit and apps to support classroom learning.
• Information on head lice (EN / FR)
• Information on reporting infectious diseases (EN / FR)
  
• Other public health services within your school, including dental screenings, immunization clinics, sexual health clinics,  food safety certification training and inspections, and enforcement of smoking and vaping laws.
• Support for grant applications
  

• Support for Welcome to Kindergarten / Bienvenue à la maternelle
