Good Health and Wellbeing

Lakehead University recognizes that ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being at all ages is essential to sustainable development. Lakehead supports advancement of SDG 3 through the development of health human resources, through extensive research and outreach related to health in the regions we serve, partnering with local, regional and national partners, and by reviewing and changing our own practices.

Commitment to a culture of health and wellbeing

On March 20, 2019, Lakehead University marked its commitment to supporting, encouraging and inspiring a culture of holistic health and wellbeing for the Lakehead community through signing the Okanagan Charter. As part of the adoption of the Charter, Lakehead University has committed to developing a comprehensive, campus-wide Wellness Strategy that will support, encourage and inspire a culture of health and well-being for all who study and work at the university. Lakehead's Wellness Strategy was approved in 2020.
