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"
