Healthy Living

Niagara Catholic believes that the school, in cooperation with the parent/guardian and the general community, has an important role to play in the development of positive attitudes toward good nutrition and lifelong healthy eating habits.

With this in mind, we are providing the following links to sites containing information on health living, food, nutrition, obesity and physical activity.
