CSC received a CAD $220,000 grant from the [[Public Health Agency of Canada]]'s Immunization Partnership Fund for a project titled the "Elmer Vaccine Education and Awareness Program".((Public Health Agency of Canada.

It was endorsed by the [[Canadian Association of School System Administrators]] (CASSA), [[Canadian School Boards Association]] (CSBA) and [[Physical and Health Education Canada]].((//Your students need credible information about vaccination.// (2022).
