Initiatives

KidSport Grant

KidSport provides support to children in order to remove financial barriers that prevent them from playing organized sport.  The KidSport Elite Performance Grant was created to provide financial assistance to athletes in Alberta who have been recognized at a provincial team level.  The activities must be affiliated with a provincial sport organization.  The grant is for children and youth 18 years and under.

Everyone Jump
Does your classroom still want to participate in the Everyone Jump Educational Challenge but think you missed the submission deadline? The judging period has been extended and OPHEA will be accepting submissions up until February 28th!

Healthy School Communities Award

Hundreds of people and groups help make our school communities healthier for children and youth.  Sometimes the good work of these people goes unrecognized.  But you can help them get the recognition they deserve by nominating them for the Healthy School Communities Award!

Celebrating individual, school and community champions who work together to achieve positive health outcomes for children and youth, the Healthy School Communities Award is a great way to say "thank-you". Please visit the Healthy U website for more details.

 

Deadline: March 1, 2011 

Thank you for your continued dedication to the health and wellness of our children and youth.

 

Sincerely,

Ever Active Schools
