Canadian Partnership for Children's Health and Environment (CPCHE)

Welcome

Welcome

The Canadian Partnership for Children’s Health and Environment (CPCHE, ‘kip-chee’) is a national collaboration of organizations with overlapping missions that have been working together since 2001 to improve children’s environmental health in Canada. Our aim is to increase awareness, mobilize knowledge and catalyze action to ensure that all children in Canada have healthy environments in which to live, learn, play and grow.

Healthy Environments for Learning Day

Healthy Environments for Learning Day

Healthy Environments for Learning Day takes place each April in Canada and aims to raise awareness of and encourage action to prevent environmental health risks to children in early learning environments and schools. Healthy Environments for Learning Day, formerly Healthy Schools Day (HSD), has changed its name to be inclusive of early learning and child care environments. The focus for this year’s Healthy Environments for Learning Day (HELD) campaign is electrification of school buses nationwide. Learn more about this year’s campaign and how you can be involved!
