Heart and Stroke Foundation grant encourages healthy lifestyles in Sask. communities
The Heart and Stroke Foundation is working to encourage new programs to improve the health of people in their community, especially children.
The foundation’s ‘My Healthy Community Grant’ was developed to fund community programs which promote healthy lifestyle changes.
Stephanie Cross is the senior manager of health promotion at the Heart and Stroke Foundation Saskatchewan. She said she is very proud of the grant and what it has funded.
“As a part of our heart healthy children and youth strategy the foundation is providing My Healthy Community grants to support cities and towns across the province, so big or small, to make healthy lasting changes at that grassroots level,” said Cross.
