Healthy Community Kapuskasing encourages residents of all ages to get active, get engaged with the community and work together towards an even healthier lifestyle.
We are committed to doing everything we can to connect you to the public resources that can help you get involved - by providing you with information, access to public facilities and help in boosting awareness of your events. Supporting local people and businesses who want to spread health and well-being will benefit all of us and make our community stronger.
