Live Well PEI Wellness Grants fund 37 projects

The Government of PEI is providing more than $194,000 to support projects that promote healthier communities across the province. The 2025—26 Live Well PEI Wellness Grant Program is funding 37 projects led by Island communities, schools, and organizations. This includes initiatives ranging from community food programs, accessible recreation, and nature-based wellness to school gardens, sensory classrooms, mental health programs, and culturally inclusive activities. Funding is available through two grant streams: Community Catalyst Grants (up to $7500), which support communities and organizations in mobilizing local wellness initiatives; and School Health Grants (up to $3000), which support the comprehensive school health framework and initiatives that promote the physical, mental, and social well-being of Island students. Projects funded this year include a community food mentorship program, pickleball programs for newcomers, trail-based therapy, wellness programs for seniors, movement through the arts, adaptive sport “try-it” days, and school-based initiatives focused on mindfulness, cooking skills, outdoor learning, and inclusive play spaces.
