School Wide Initiatives
School-wide initiatives are coordinated efforts that implement multiple strategies to promote shared goals, values, and practices. These initiatives are designed to foster a positive, inclusive, and engaging school environment for all. The Middlesex-London Health Unit supports several school-wide initiatives that bridge both health and education, encouraging overall well-being and academic success.
Food Access in Schools
School food programs help ensure all students have access to nutritious meals, supporting their health, learning, and well-being—especially for those facing food insecurity.
Active & Safe Routes to School
Active & Safe Routes to School (ASRTS) is a partnership across Elgin, Middlesex, Oxford, London, and St. Thomas that promotes active transportation for children and families.
Supportive Food Enviornment
Schools can create supportive food environments, where students can develop a positive relationship with food and their bodies, and learn lifelong positive eating habits.
