Manitoba Healthy Schools

Spring 2012 Environmental Health Campaign

Over the past eight years Healthy Schools has provided funding to participating schools in seventeen successful campaigns, with topics including safety and injury prevention, physical activity, healthy eating, and mental health promotion. 

The Healthy Schools campaign this spring focuses on ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH.  Participating schools will receive $100.00 plus an additional $0.35 per student in the school population for an activity that promotes environmental health in their school community. Sample activities are attached to help you develop the best activity for your school.

Any school representative (administrator, teacher, support staff, parent council member, or student council representative) is eligible to apply. 

Please note that only one application per school will receive funding.  

You have until March 9, 2012 to apply!
