We recognize that to be well, we must maintain healthy and resilient ecosystems and that when people and place are considered together, our communities can truly thrive. Our institutions must confront the complex issues about health, wellbeing, and sustainability of people and the planet. The Okanagan Charter provides higher education with a common language, principles, and framework to put campuses at the forefront of this movement.
This international charter calls on post-secondary schools to embed health into all aspects of campus culture and to lead health promotion action and collaboration locally and globally. 20 campuses in Canada have adopted the Charter.
