Working to implement a School Food Program for Canada
The Coalition for Healthy School Food advocates for the creation of a universal cost-shared school food program for Canada, for all K-12 students having daily access to healthy food at school. Building on existing programs across the country, all schools will eventually serve a healthy meal or snack at little or no cost to students. These programs will include food education and serve culturally appropriate, local, sustainable food to the fullest extent possible. Over the years, various funders have contributed to the work of the Coalition and its member organizations working on this important issue.
