The Fort Garry/St. Norbert Healthy Child Coalition is one of 18 Provincial Coalitions to receive funding from the Manitoba government. The members of our Coalition are people from the community who are interested in the welfare of our children. Every program funded by the Coalition supports parents in one or more of the following areas: parenting, nutrition and physical health, literacy, and capacity building. These programs are free and geared towards parents/caregivers and children (aged 1-4 years) to attend together.

Our Pillars

Parenting
- Talk to other parents about the joys and challenges of parenting. Ask the Program Leaders for ideas about services and resources in your community to support you in being the best parent possible.
Nutrition & Physical Health
- Receive a healthy snack at the end of the program and have your child practice their fine and gross motor skills
Literacy & Numeracy
- Take part in the rhyme circle, share a book with your child, participate in craft time, or simply spend some fun time with your little one. These are all activities you can enjoy at one of the funded programs.
Community Capacity
- Learn about various resource opportunities available in the community, ways you can become involved in your community, and share your knowledge and experiences with others.
