WELCOME TO NSTEP

NSTEP is creating a wave of health across Canada by educating the children of today to be the health champions of tomorrow. 

NSTEP (Nutrition Students Teachers Exercising with Parents), is a not for profit registered charity providing hands-on nutrition and physical activity programs directly into the classrooms, community centers and afterschool programming in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario. We strive to promote positive change in the health of our communities through active learning.  Children learnn healthy habits for life so they do NOT suffer from chronic diseases associated with being overweight.   Our programs work directly with children/youth in both school and community settings, to inspire teachers, students and parents to make small simple changes for lifelong health benefits.

Between March 1st & August 31st, all donations to NSTEP made through Canada Helps will be matched up to 50% through Shaw Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink.  Thank you Shaw Birdies for Kids!
