Much has changed since the CPF was founded in 1985. What is unchanged however is our commitment to the health and well-being of children and youth in Canada and abroad. In 2005, the foundation celebrated its 20th anniversary. Part of that celebration included a new name and identity: Healthy Generations: Building a Future for Children and Youth.
