Montreal – School food programs prevent food insecurity, provide healthy meals to kids throughout the school year and foster academic success.
Federal government has announced an agreement between the Governments of Canada and Quebec under the National School Food Program, while respecting Quebec’s exclusive jurisdiction in education.
Through this agreement, the Government of Canada will provide approximately $65.2 million over the next three years in federal support for the government of Quebec’s school food programs. The agreement also recognizes Quebec’s jurisdiction in education. This federal investment will support and improve school food services in Quebec, while providing more students in Quebec with nutritious meals and snacks while at school, giving them the best possible opportunity to learn, grow and reach their full potential.
