Welcome
The Canadian Partnership for Children’s Health and Environment (CPCHE, ‘kip-chee’) is a national collaboration of organizations with overlapping missions that have been working together since 2001 to improve children’s environmental health in Canada. Our aim is to increase awareness, mobilize knowledge and catalyze action to ensure that all children in Canada have healthy environments in which to live, learn, play and grow.
HELD 2024
Healthy Environments for Learning Day
The 2024 Healthy Environments for Learning Day (HELD) campaign will focus on Indoor Air Quality in Canada’s schools and child care settings. Indoor Air Quality plays a critical role in shaping children’s respiratory health, immune function, and cognitive development. This campaign is an opportunity to address topics such as learnings from COVID-19 about the importance of ventilation, vehicle diesel exhaust, radon, harmful chemicals in products, as well as wildfire smoke and other climate change issues.
