The vision of OHSC is that every child and young person in Ontario will have the opportunity to be educated in a "healthy school." A healthy school promotes the physical, mental, social and spiritual health of the whole school community and constantly strengthens its capacity as a healthy setting for living, learning and working.
Registration is now open for the OHSC annual conference, which will take place in London from March 31 to April 1, 2020. Join us for an amazing line-up of speakers, including a keynote by the always-inspiring Dr. Jean Clinton. The conference is also a great opportunity to connect with healthy school supporters from across the province.
