Why was Get Set For Life Created? Get Set For Life was created because new research on early child development has confirmed that the first five years are extremely important in laying the foundation for the rest of a child's life. Parents, Grandparents Aunts, Uncles and Caregivers are all partners in providing a nurturing, stimulating environment for our young children, and Get Set For Life shows how to help. Who's 'behind' Get Set For Life? Invest in Kids, CBC Television, and Canadian Living Magazine play a joint leadership role in the development of the campaign. Unilever Canada (through their Sunlight and Lipton products), and Health Canada, support the campaign.
