Public Health Community Outreach Booth

Community Outreach Booth

The Community Outreach Booth travels to events across Niagara from mid-May to the end of August. Trained students and volunteers help to increase public awareness and knowledge on specific health topics through interactive activities. Resources, giveaways and free sunscreen are available at the booth.

This is no charge for the Community Outreach Booth. Event organizers can select which topics they would like at their event.

Spring / Summer 2023 health topics

  • Sun safety
    Exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays can harm your skin and eyes. Learn how to be sun safe.
  • Tick awareness
    Tick exposure is on the rise. Learn about ticks and the potential impacts on your health.
  • Water does wonders
    Sugary drinks are everywhere but making healthy drink choices is as important as your food choices. Learn about the benefits of making water your drink of choice.
