BIG NEWS:
We’re delivering $12.4 million over the next three years so kids will have access to consistent breakfast programs and a better lunch program right across Nova Scotia!
I’ve long advocated for a National School Food Program because kids need good, healthy food in their bellies so they can focus on learning, growing, and pursuing their dreams.
I’m thrilled that Nova Scotia is now part of our National School Food Program—ensuring kids have the fuel they need to succeed.
Our National School Food Program, along with smart measures like the tax-free Canada Child Benefit, is helping parents save money while investing in the well-being of Canada’s greatest asset—our kids.
I’ll never forget serving meals at Dartmouth South Academy with the legendary Debby MacDonald, who poured her heart into local school food programs. Thanks to her dedication—and the tireless advocacy of Nourish Nova Scotia, the Healthy School Food Coalition, and so many others—we’ve made this vision a reality for kids across the country.
To all the Debby MacDonalds out there: thank you for your passion, your hard work, and your unwavering belief in the power of school food programs. Your efforts made today possible!
