Mission

At the heart of Collectif Vital's mission is the desire to enable Quebecers to adopt healthy lifestyle habits on a daily basis. To achieve this, we focus on creating healthy, inclusive living environments, by working collectively with decision-makers.

Our main activities are reflected in our name, where each letters has a specific meaning :

•  Influence : Our influencing strategies evolves policies and living environments, as well as social norms and professional practices. 
  
  
•  Transmit : Our actions aim to transmit and spread knowledge and innovation experiences in a clear and accessible way.
  
  
•  Act : Collectively, we propose concrete solutions to encourage commitment and decision-making.
  
  
•  Legislate : We demand health-friendly policy changes for the continuous improvement of our living environments. 

Since its creation in 2006, the Collectif Vital, previously the Weight Coalition, has become a well established advocate supported by many partners from various spheres, such as the school, health, research, environment, nutrition, and physical activity areas.

The Collectif Vital is a project of the Quebec Public Health Association since 2008.
