Healthy Active Schools is a school program of Ottawa Public Health enabling children to make healthy choices about food and physical activity on a daily basis, which will reduce their risk for developing chronic diseases and provide them with the skills to develop healthy food and activity behaviors for life. A comprehensive school health approach is used and incorporates multiple strategies to implement in the curriculum, school environment and community.

Le programme Écoles actives et en santé a pour but de permettre aux enfants de faire chaque jour des choix sains dans les domaines de l’alimentation et de l’activité physique, ce qui réduirait chez eux le risque de développer des maladies chroniques et leur fournirait les compétences nécessaires pour développer – pour la vie – de saines habitudes en ce qui a trait à l’alimentation et à l’activité physique. Nous avons une approche globale et utilisons plusieurs stratégies de promotion de la santé en milieu scolaire qui s’intègre au programme d’études, au milieu scolaire et à la collectivité.
