Advocacy: National Food Program

[Sent February 8, 2024]

President Broady to Minister Freeland: 

“With the federal government conducting pre-budget consultations, I wish to add support to calls from other provincial public education associations to request that $1 billion over five years, with a minimum of $200 million per year, be included in Budget 2024 for a National School Food Program.”

President Broady to Mr. Taleeb Noormohamed, M.P.: 

“The concept of a universal national school food policy and program for all public schools has wide appeal as too many children enter schools daily while lacking the nutrition needed to learn effectively.”
