Canadian School Health Centre
Retaining Documents on Schools, Health & Children

The Canadian School Health Centre has been established to support several school health activities. The Centre also collects, compiles and catalogues reports, manuals, studies, and other information that is not available through publishing companies and journals. The centre has collected over 7000 documents since it took over an earlier collection that Health Canada had started. Resources for the Centre are limited, but an extensive number of documents have been catalogued and abstracts prepared. The Centre isthe home of the Canadian School Knowledge Network.

	A collection of documents selected from various school health projects has been developed. A catalogue is being prepared of  specific document that will be available for access at a later date.
	Environment scans of current activities in Canada that have been done or are being done by various groups. Lnks to environment scans on Canadian school health activities in nutrition, physical activity, tobacco, Aboriginal schools, French-language schools and safe schools will be available.
	Reference lists from a variety of sources on selected topics. These lists will include web-based links to documents available on other web sites.

In the future, we hope to provide:

	Selected lists of evaluated resources relating to specific topics of interest to schools and others. These lists will summarize the evaluations done by others about such programs and provide contact and ordering information.
	Collections of sample policies, planning, assessment and training materials.
