The Ontario Trillium Foundation funds an array of community and provincial programs for people of all ages and abilities that support the development of healthy communities. Of the four areas given priority, one has a focus on “healthier and more physically active Ontarians.” Grants in this stream are intended for initiatives that, among other goals, create opportunities for physical and recreational activity, support the creation of sustainable systems of health and well-being, and protect the natural environment. Visit the Trillium Foundation website for a more detailed look at the priority areas.
