Healthy Schools Certification: A Journey Across Canada

Best Practices & Stories from the Field
Written By Canadian Healthy Schools Alliance

OPHEA’s Healthy Schools Certification (HS Certification) is a 6-step program that guides and celebrates schools for taking a Comprehensive School Health Approach. After years of running solely in Ontario, Ever Active Schools, DASH, PHE Canada and OPHEA took this program on the road (albeit a bumpy road) to engage schools across other provinces. Find out more about our successes, challenges and key learnings (there were plenty!) of coordinating a cross-Canada pilot of HS Certification.
