The Children's Health & Environment Partnership of Manitoba is pleased to announce the upcoming release of the ABC's of Children's Environmental Health Toolkit in Fall 2010. Since the Partnership's launch in November 2008, we have strived to build organizational capacity in the Province of Manitoba to support service providers in reducing environmental exposures to developing minds and bodies.  

Since our inception, we have been committed to developing accessible, plain-language resources that could be delivered directly to members of the community. Our new initiative, the ABC's of Children's Environmental Health Toolkit focuses on how to create healthy environments through various activities such as eating, bathing, cleaning and playing and is presented using a health promotion model.

The Toolkit includes:

• How-to Videos on making your own all-purpose household cleaner and a safe alternative to baby lotion
• Recipes for easy, cheap Baby Care Products and Household Cleaners (using the Super 7 ingredients)
• EXPANDED Get Smart! Guide to Safer Plastics
• EXPANDED Top Ten actions to take to create a healthy environment for children
• and more...

As part of the launch of the toolkit, we will be delivering 12 presentations to various venues in Manitoba.

If you are interested in having our Health Promotions team come on-site to deliver a presentation using the toolkit to clients of your organization, please let us know via email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
