Healthy Schools and Community Resources

Stonecircle can now add another organization known by its acronym to its roster of clients. The Ontario Physical Health and Education Association (OPHEA) approached Stonecircle, on the recommendation of the Chiefs of Ontario, to ask them to conduct research and prepare an environmental scan on health promotion resources that target Aboriginal students in a school setting. The majority of research will be in a First Nation context, primarily in Ontario, but with Inuit and Métis examples from across Canada also incorporated.

OPHEA was created in 1921 and has been working to support the health and learning of children and youth in Ontario. OPHEA works with school boards, public health, government and non-government organizations as well as private sector organizations to develop programs and services that promote healthy and active school communities. More information can be found at www.ophea.net

If you are aware of any health promotion activities documents or resources that could be shared in the OPHEA database, please email Kory Goulais.
