The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) announced a series of webinars to support current funding recipients of the Community Action Program for Children (CAPC) and the Canada Prenatal Nutrition Program (CPNP) in preparing to apply for funding under the new program (for funding from April 2026 to March 2030).
There have been some changes to the webinar series:
-
What has not changed: The webinars are still happening. The sessions will cover needs assessments, collaborative partnerships and proposal development. Recipients will be able to ask follow-up questions on all the topics. The sessions are completely voluntary and will not impact decisions related to the CAPC/CPNP funding you receive from PHAC.
-
What has changed: The webinars will not be live events. They will be pre-recorded and self-paced. As such, there will be no registration needed. There will no longer be five webinars in the series, there will be three (needs assessments, collaborative partnerships, application process and proposal requirements). PHAC is aiming to release the Capacity Building Support Webinars in Fall 2024.
Providing capacity supports is an important part of our response to what we heard from recipients during the recent engagements on the renewal approach. While these changes were unforeseen, they reflect the shift to a targeted and non-competitive application process and are more aligned with the types of information that recipients have asked for.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. We look forward to supporting you in preparing for the new program.
