Examples of eligible initiatives include:

• Exercise, physical activity, and sports programs

• Nutrition education and healthy meal initiatives

• Mental health support and wellness workshops

• Community-based health education campaigns

• Social connection and isolation prevention programs

• Preventive care and health screenings

Goals and Objectives

The goals of the Burnaby Healthy Living Grant Program are to expand opportunities for healthier living, build community capacity, and improve equitable access to wellness resources.

Specifically, the program aims to:

  • Support community-led health initiatives by providing small, one-time grants to local organizations and grassroots groups that are implementing health promotion activities, ensuring that resources are distributed where they are most needed

  • Increase opportunities for healthy living initiatives to ensure more individuals in our community have access to the resources they need to lead healthier lives.

  • Enhance health equity by supporting programs that target underserved populations, including low-income communities, seniors, youth, and new Canadians
