title: Canada: perspectives in school health.
abstract: Because education is the individual responsibility of 10 provinces and two northern territories, the quality of school health varies greatly across Canada. However, planned major events in the past few years have served as catalysts to begin considering a comprehensive approach to school health. The value of coordinating instruction in health with school services and the community environment is beginning to be realized. These long "overdue" developments are reviewed and summarized.
