PHE Canada Program Advisory Committees (PAC’s)

PHE Canada has four specialized Program Advisory Committee’s (PAC) to represent PHE Canada’s vision and mission – Quality Daily Physical Education, Quality School Health, Quality School Intramural Recreation and Dance Education. PHE Canada’s PACs are volunteer groups that provide advice, guidance, and recommendations to the PHE Canada Board of Directors on relevant matters relating to school age children. Advice from the PACs may be specifically sought by the Board of Directors, or the PACs may generate recommendations and positions to the Board of Directors for consideration.
