Welcome to Community Action Toward Children's Health (CATCH)

 "working together for the healthy development of children in their early years in the Central Okanagan"

 This year, one of CATCH's goals is to support Central Okanagan communities to become more child friendly.

We will look at what a child friendly community looks and feels like.   Possible themes include neighbourhoods, mobility, places, workplaces and public spaces.

Many communities in the province and throughout the world are involved in the process of creating Child Friendly Communities and some examples can be found on our website in the Child Friendly Communities menu tab.

If you would like to join in on the discussion, please click on the five question survey found below.

Thank you.

Parents, early childhood educators and child caregivers have identified 6 Priorities for action to improve conditions for raising healthy children in Central Okanagan Communities in 2007 and in the Aboriginal Community in 2008  

 The Community Action Toward Children's Health (CATCH) coalition is a partnership of individuals and organizations who take seriously the notion that it takes the whole community to raise a child. The partners of the CATCH coalition endeavour to make the Central Okanagan the best possible place to raise young children by following their mission: "working together for the healthy development of children in their early years (conception to school entry) in the Central Okanagan"
