The Healthy Horizons Foundation is a charity founded in 2015 by The North West Company to provide funding to community-based health and wellness programs for children and youth in northern communities.

Healthy Horizons is dedicated to the health and well-being of children and youth in the north. Through financial grants, we support programs and events focused on physical activity, nutrition, education, and wellness.

A few examples of the types of programs we support are:

• Community and family resource centres
• Exercise facilities and programs
• Sports activities
• Disease prevention education
• Nutritional literacy
• Academic and non-academic life skill programs
• Land-based learning

Healthy Horizons relies on funds donated by generous individuals, funding partners, employees, and community fundraising events, as well as corporate-driven initiatives such as the Star Icon Campaign, Northy Bear sales and Healthy Horizons Foundation store coin boxes.

To be eligible for Healthy Horizons Foundation funding, you must be:

• A registered charity or qualified donee in Canada
• Aligned to the mission and vision of the Healthy Horizons Foundation (youth programming focused on positive, healthy opportunities in northern communities)
