Enhancing Students Success: Canada’s New National School Food Program

In a significant move to support the well-being and academic success of Canadian children, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced the launch of the National School Food Program. This initiative, highlighted in a recent news release from the Office of the Prime Minister, aims to boost existing school food programs across the country, ensuring all students have access to nutritious meals that fuel their learning and growth

The announcement illustrates a $1 billion investment over a 5-year period. It aims to provide meals to 400,000 more students by the end of the 2024-2025 school year. It marks a pivotal moment in promoting children’s health, well-being and academic success.
