Ontario Public Health Standards

Welcome to the Ontario Public Health Standards (OPHS) Website. This site has been developed to:

  1. Assist public health practitioners to understand the conceptual framework of the Ontario Public Health Standards including the four principles; one foundational standard; five program standards groupings; the logic model approach; and protocols that support specific requirements.
  2. Support the achievement of board of health outcomes by providing practical tools for the adoption of the Standards, including tools for program planning and delivery (e.g., logic models and links to evidence-based tools to inform public health practice).
