Physical Activity and Healthy Eating Contribution Program

The The Physical Activity and Healthy Eating Contribution Program is an important means by which the Public Health Agency of Canada carries out its mandate and achieves its goals to help Canadians improve their health through regular physical activity and healthy eating. Recognizing that health is a shared responsibility, contribution funding is also a means by which the Agency supports and engages the voluntary sector to effect change, improve situations, and collaborate on activities of mutual benefit. Partnerships and collaborative action between governments, non-government organizations, and other agencies, help to reduce barriers and increase access to convenient, safe, affordable, and attractive opportunities to integrate physical activity and healthy eating into daily living.
