This program has provided another outlet to families who have felt powerless and inadequate as parents.

When parents with children diagnosed with complex medical needs continue to be bombarded by barriers from the current systems in place for Indigenous families, FNHC has provided a safety net.

Whether it is providing the services, finding the services or being the needed advocate, FNHC is an essential service to our Indigenous families.

Thank you to the team for being amazing and empowering change within a complex system.

Impact Grows When We Collaborate

Healthy Horizons made a generous investment to ensure young people have access to sport and proper equipment. Sport Central continues to steward those resources and place gear directly into the hands of kids who need it most. We helped bridge that connection in the community so everyone involved could be recognized and celebrated.
