Are you involved in a project that could help improve the health of your community?
Northern Health wants to support new ideas and projects that will help improve the health of those living and working in northern B.C.
Over the past decade, Northern Health has been providing IMAGINE Community Grants to fund projects across the province.
Past projects have included; community gardens and projects that support traditional methods of food harvesting and preservation, community walking trail enhancements, sporting equipment libraries, and workshops to support skills development in the community, to name just a few.
The most recent cycle of grants awarded more than $125,500 in funding to 31 projects across the region.
Now, the health authority is on the hunt for new initiatives and projects to support, as the call for applications to apply for the last round of IMAGINE grants is now open.
Some of the things Northern Health is looking out for include healthy eating and food security, physical activity, injury prevention, tobacco-free communities, positive mental health, prevention of substance harms, healthy early childhood development, healthy ageing, and healthy school action.
IMAGINE grants provide funding to community organizations, service agencies, Indigenous organizations, schools, municipalities, regional districts, and other partners with projects that support these kinds of projects to help northerners stay healthy.
The application deadline for this cycle is Sunday, March 31, 2019.
