Wellness Networks

What is a wellness network?

Wellness networks are a formal or informal group of people who come together to address an area of concern around wellness in their own community, region or organization. They may be working toward improved healthy eating, increased physical activity, or another wellness goal. These groups strive to improve wellness for all those in their communities, including vulnerable populations.

Through a combination of federal and provincial government support, HEPAC is leading an initiative to strengthen wellness networks around the province of NB. This work will lead to regions throughout the province having access to a variety of learning and networking opportunities, tools and resources.

HEPAC is currently working directly with nine different communities/regions in a demonstration/evaluation year. The nine sites are:

  • Charlo
  • Fredericton and greater area
  • Grand Bay-Westfield
  • Lower West Saint John
  • Millville
  • Miramichi Region
  • Chaleur Region
  • South East Region
  • Tobique First Nations
