Connections (CPNP)

Connections is a community based project whose goal is to support families, who are pregnant or have children aged 0-6, in the healthy growth and development of their children through cooperative efforts involving families, services and communities.

We receive both CAPC & CPNP funding.  We began in 1993 with CAPC funding, and was the first funded project in Ontario.  We began running CPNP programs in 1996. Our sponsor is ConnectWell Community Health.
