The Government of the Northwest Territories has launched the School Health Promotion Fund (SHPF) to support health and wellness activities in NWT schools.
The new fund replaces the long-running Drop the Pop initiative, which supported schools for 17 years. The SHPF provides up to $5,000 per school to support projects that encourage healthy choices, build life skills, and share knowledge at school, at home, and in the community.
The SHPF allows schools to identify their own priority health promotion topics based on the needs of their community and student population. This change also aligns with the new inquiry-based school curriculum.
Applications are now open for this school year. They will be reviewed on an ongoing basis until funding is used up.
