Initiated in 2016, the Canadian Health Promoting Universities and Colleges Network aims to engage higher education institutions to advance the health-promoting universities and colleges movement within Canada. 

Similar networks are active internationally, including in the UK, New Zealand, Germany, and Iberoamerica. The establishment of a Canadian network is supported by the Pan American Health Organization.
