Your Gift Helps Canadians Live Healthier, Longer
Every day, millions of Canadians face preventable illness not because they lack the willpower to live healthier, but because the places we live, learn, work, and play make healthy choices difficult.
Your gift helps CHFI build the partnerships, programs, and shared solutions that make it easier for Canadians to move more, connect more, and live well.
Inactivity Runs Deep
Half of Canadians live with a chronic condition tied to physical inactivity. Fewer than 1 in 5 meet daily movement guidelines.
For many people, inactivity is reinforced by the way everyday life is structured. Long hours spent sitting at school or work, car-dependent routines, screen time, limited access to welcoming activities, and fewer opportunities to connect through movement all make it harder to be more active.
Over time, those routines can become habits that affect health, wellbeing, and social connection. Changing that trajectory means making movement, connection, and healthier choices easier to build into everyday life.
Help Make Healthy Choices Easier, Wherever You Are
Your gift supports the only Canadian national initiative that integrates physical, mental, and spiritual health into everyday systems, including schools, workplaces, Indigenous communities, public policy, neighbourhood design, and the natural world.
Instead of asking Canadians to “try harder,” you help remove barriers so movement becomes accessible, joyful, and supported.
Your Gift Helps
Launch and scale community-led movement programs, including Indigenous, youth, multicultural, and rural initiatives.
Expand access to movement-friendly environments, from green spaces to technology-supported participation.
Make participation visible and motivating through national movement challenges, shared storytelling, and annual gatherings.
Shift the national conversation from treatment to prevention, making healthy living possible for every Canadian.
Your support creates systemic change that reveals itself in everyday opportunities for Canadians to move more, connect more, and live well.
