UNA Initiatives

The University Neighbourhoods Association creates initiatives based on prominent community needs. Each initiative includes a combination of programs and events with a common core purpose. Learn more about some of the initiatives we are currently running:

• Weaving Wellness
  A Mental Health Initiative
  • Looking after your wellbeing is more important than ever. Weaving Wellness is a new UNA initiative that aims to make mental health resources more accessible to the community. Weaving Wellness offers a variety of webinars, programs and resources whether you’re just starting to learn more about mental health, wanting improve your general wellbeing, or looking to find ways to cope with life’s challenges.

• Healthy Seniors, Resilient Community
  A Seniors Wellness Initiative
  • The Healthy Seniors, Resilient Community initiative seeks to support seniors in our community during COVID-19 through free virtual digital literacy, wellness and social programs. This initiative has been made possible by the New Horizons for Seniors Program from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC).

• Get Active!
  A Physical Literacy for Women Initiative
  • Get Active! is a program that teaches women how to be physically active. Fewer women than men are getting the recommended amount of physical activity. This gender gap can be due to unique barriers a woman faces, such as family commitments or missing out on learning fundamentals of physical literacy at an early age. This initiative aims to reduce psychological, social, cultural and financial barriers to participation. Build physical literacy and confidence in trying new fitness activities with Get Active!.
