Oshawa is one of 45 communities in Ontario selected to participate in a 3-year program designed to improve the health of children aged 12 years and under.

Led by the City of Oshawa, a team of community partners are working together to implement local programs and activities that focus on physical activity and healthy eating. Currently, we are focusing on the theme of “Water Does Wonders!”.
