This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for northern B.C. communities, schools, organizations and individuals of all ages to be inspired by the upcoming 2015 Canada Winter Games and apply for funding towards a health promotion or disease/injury-prevention project that will help improve health through physical activity.
The grants fund health promotion or disease or injury prevention projects that:
• Focus on physical activity and at least one other key health promotion goal – considering the upcoming 2015 Canada Winter Games and how the games can be leveraged to inspire community health.
• Last – your project has a good chance of living on after the funding ends.
• Make a difference – your project will broadly impact community in a positive way.
• Reduce health inequities – your project will help support those who are disadvantaged or marginalized.
• Build relationships – your project will help people connect to each other and their community and share successes.
• Support collaboration & partnerships – your project will encourage diverse groups to work together toward a common goal.
• Improve health – your project will reduce the risks and impacts of chronic illnesses and injuries
