Secondary students came together for a warm and welcoming breakfast, reinforcing the value of shared meals in building community. Organized by the school’s Care Club and supported by the Feeding Futures Program and Breakfast Club of Canada, this morning activity showed how nutrition programs provide students with regular access to healthy food.
The Feeding Futures Program was established by the Ministry of Education and Childcare in 2023 to fund a variety of school-based initiatives, including breakfast and lunch programs, snack cupboards and community fridges in every school. The program builds partnerships with local suppliers and organizations to ensure sustainable and high-quality meal options, all of which are purchased — not donated — to maintain consistency and quality.
Aside from breakfast club activities like this one, Feeding Futures continues to evolve and expand food supports to better serve the students in our district. From weekend food supplements and inclusive meal options to enhanced food preparation resources, the program remains committed to ensuring every student has access to nutritionally dense foods in a dignified and sustainable way.
