The Department of Healthy and Inclusive Communities in partnership with the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development are pleased to announce two exciting initiatives for the coming year:
·         School Wellness Grant
·         Premier’s Challenge – Active at School
 
School Wellness Grant 2014-2015
The purpose of the School Wellness Grant is to support the implementation of Comprehensive School Health (CSH) approaches to increase Mental Fitness and Resilience, Healthy Eating, Physical Activity and Tobacco Free Living among the students and within the school community.  Schools must adhere to the outlined conditions and deadlines towards the completion of their submitted SWG action plan. 
 
Application Deadline:
Ø  The deadline to submit the grant application is midnight on Friday, May 30, 2014.  Applications submitted beyond the deadline date and time will not be considered for a grant.*
 
*If your school received a 2013-2014 School Wellness Grant, your school’s 2014-2015 School Wellness Grant application will not be accepted until the School Wellness Grant Final Report 2013-2014 is completed and received with all deadlines met.
 
Premier’s Challenge – Active at School
Ø  This opportunity will challenge your school to address physical education and physical activity.  A successful Premier’s Challenge – Active at School application will allow your school to choose $1500 in physical education or physical activity equipment provided by Canadian Tire Family of Companies.  Please watch for an upcoming email sent to you Monday, June 2nd, 2014 providing details on how to apply.
 
The Department of Healthy and Inclusive Communities in partnership with the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development encourages you to take advantage of these opportunities to improve the wellness of your students, their families and your school community.  Thank you!
 
If you have any questions or comments about either of these opportunities please do not hesitate to contact me Lynn Ann Duffley by email at lynnann.duffley@gnb.ca
