What is HEPAC?

Founded in 2003, the Healthy Eating Physical Activity Coalition of NB (HEPAC) is a network of organizations and individuals working together to promote healthy active lifestyles for the people of New Brunswick.

The coalition is made up of a group of member organizations from around the province that have a stake in health and wellness.

The steering committee provides strategic direction for the coalition, and its members are selected from both provincial government departments and non-government organizations.

HEPAC is committed to working collaboratively to support the creation of environments in NB that promote healthy eating and physical activity.

Through the support of local wellness networks, HEPAC will help to strengthen the ability of New Brunswickers to impact the wellness levels in their own communities through:

  • professional development and networking opportunities;
  • improved access to evidence-based information and best practices;
  • resources, tools and support.
