What is the Feeding Futures school food program?​​

​The Ministry has allocated $71.5 million per year​ in dedicated, multi-year funding to school districts to enhance student food security through expanding or establishing school food programs. This funding initiative is a cornerstone of the government's comprehensive Feeding Futures School Food Programs Framework, reflecting our commitment to ensuring students are well-nourished for optimal learning and health outcomes. The Feeding Futures School Food Programs (FFSFP) funding addresses critical challenges identified by schools in the province, including sustainable food funding and human resources. ​
​ 

What is the goal of this new school food initiative?

The Feeding Futures initiative aims to address sustainable nutritional needs, and helping to alleviate the impact of rising food costs for families. With this initiative, we are working together as a community to give children the best start in life. By nourishing bodies with healthy food and promoting food literacy initiatives, we aim to foster a sustainable, healthy, and nourished future.​​
