The Healthy Eating Active Living HEAL project involves several strategies to target healthy eating, active living, positive body image and living smoke free to children aged 7-13 years old. The Healthy Kids Strategy provides opportunity and support for healthy eating and engaging with Elders, and to increase traditional and recreational activities for youth ages 13 to 25 years old.

An extension of the HEAL program is The Smoke-Free Ontario Strategy which has greatly reduced tobacco use and lowered health risks to non-smokers in Ontario.  Anishnawbe Mushkiki was acknowledged as a Smoke-Free Champion in the Thunder Bay District in May 2016, which provide quit cafes, smoking cessation counselling (group and individual), and STOP program.
