Healthy Schools Grant content updated
The Healthy Schools Program page no longer shows the grant section, applicant guidance, the four-step healthy-school process, or several related resource links, which materially changes the program information available to schools. The Nutrition for Schools page moved leader training workshops from February 2026 to October 2026, and the Physical Activity for Schools page changed the community-inquiries email from AccessYork@york.ca to ContactUs@york.ca while also replacing the campaign link shown on the page.
