The Canadian Partnership for Children's Health and Environment (CPCHE) is an affiliation of organizations working together to protect children's health from environmental contaminants. We know that children are more highly exposed and more vulnerable than adults to toxins. We believe children have a right to clean air, safe food, clean drinking water, and consumer and commercial products free of environmental health and safety threats.

The Canadian Child Care Federation (CCCF), with the support of the Canadian Partnership for Children's Healthy Environments (CPCHE) partners, has received funding from the National Population Health Fund to undertake a community engagement project with the goal of raising the level of children's environmental health awareness and literacy amongst three key practitioner groups and moving them to action. The three practitioner groupes include the following:

• Child care practitioners
• Family physicians and other health intermediaries
• Public health workers
