Community Action Program for Children (CAPC) is a Public Health Agency of Canada initiative that focuses on forming partnerships in the community.
The purpose of CAPC is to create opportunities for families, neighborhoods and communities to work together so that by the age of six, all children will have developed to their optimum level – physically, socially, emotionally and intellectually.
CAPC programs are provided primarily for teen parents, newly immigrated parents and parents who are socially isolated due to economic circumstances, illness, disability, place of residence and/or ethno-cultural factors, who have children 0 to 6 years of age.
