FAIR START is a collaborative venture with nine community partners. It was developed by the community of Thunder Bay as a way of ensuring that children are screened as early as possible.

- Children's Centre Thunder Bay
- George Jeffrey Children's Centre
- Communities Together for Children
- Conseil scolaire de district catholique des Aurores Boréales

- Audiologists
- Optometrists
- Speech and Language Pathologists
- Early Years Screeners
Screening is also available for children attending most child care centres in Thunder Bay. Contact your child care centre for more information.
FAIR START is sponsored by the Thunder Bay District Health Unit and funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health through the Healthy Babies/Healthy Children initiative.
