 Healthy Schools Toronto
Toronto school communities will be the healthiest places possible for living, learning and working and will support the growth and development of children and youth.

The Healthy Schools approach is recognized as the most effective way to create a healthier school environment and improve student learning.

A key part of a healthy school is establishing a School Health Committee involving parents, students, school staff, a Public Health Nurse and community partners.
