North Victoria Healthy Communities Coalition
The NVHCC was formed in June 1995 with the assistance of the Ontario
Healthy Communities Coalition under sponsorship of Youth
Aflame Ministries Inc.
The NVHCC is a group of local citizens concerned about the health
of the community in which we live. This area is a rural area consisting
of a cluster of 5 small communities which is suffering from severe unemployment,
depression, suicide, and a lack of hope for the future.
We are trying to make an impact in various ways:
* we have taken youth to Canada's Wonderland free of charge *
* we are planning a community computer lab for all ages *
* we have helped start a local breakfast program *
* we co-presented an interactive health fair *
* we work with other community groups *
We are dedicated to serving the residents of North Victoria County
in Central Ontario.

The following pages contain links to sites that we have found to
be useful. Soon we will be adding more info on the NVHCC and our various
activities.
For new groups, local fundraising and promotion is important. For
further assistance join a news group or conference such as the OHCC conference
on Web Networks. This is a place where community groups can share ideas,
programs and funding sources. Watch your local newspaper for government
programs (contact your MPP and MP). Also, for resources you need, ask suppliers
for nonprofit pricing (such as Corel's
WordPerfect Suite).
Good luck and let us know of other ideas.
