We are very excited to introduce our new Child and Youth Planning Table in Oxford County.
ActivateOxford – formerly “Oxford Children’s Planning Committee” – is proud to introduce its new name and logo in order to better reflect its mission to actively address the existing and emerging needs of children and youth in the Oxford community.

Mental health care for Ontario children and youth face a series of challenges including program cuts due to chronic under funding; skyrocketing hospitalization rates; and, long waiting lists for treatment that continue to grow.
As many as 5 out of 6 kids with mental health issues don’t get the treatment they need.
Let’s make Ontario a better place for families by prioritizing child and youth mental health.
In the spring of 2017, students from the School Within A College volunteered to take on the task of creating a wall mural here at the Health Centre.
This group of students has created the context and story for the mural and are now in the process of producing this amazing piece of art.
The story of the mural reflects a person’s journey and experience here at the Oxford County Community Health Centre, as well as individual stories of the artists.
In an effort to be environmentally conscious, the team is doing its best to source unused/recycled paint, so that they do not contribute to environmental problems by having to discard old, unused paint.
The project is a community endeavour. Many community members have donated supplies or money to help support the project.
The mural, when completed, will be in excess of 22m2 or 240 square feet.
A special thank you to the School Within A College students who have put hundreds of hours into the creation of this timeless work.
