The OHSC is excited to unveil our new logo!
This year, we are proud to celebrate 25 years of dedicated work toward creating healthier school environments across the province. With this significant milestone comes a refreshed design that reflects our commitment to growth. The new logo combines modern aesthetics with elements that highlight our heritage, creating a strong visual identity that represents who we are. Through advocacy, education, and collaboration, the Coalition has played a key role in shaping policies and practices that foster healthier, more inclusive school environments. As a member of the OHSC, we thank you for being part of this journey!
Schools are ideal settings to promote health and to inspire commitment to Health Promoting Schools (HPS) among students, parents/guardians, school staff and broader school community. HPS is an internationally recognized approach for supporting improvements in student educational outcomes while addressing school health in a planned, integrated, and holistic way. |
