British Columbia has signed an agreement with the federal government under the National School Food Program, securing $39 million over three years. This funding will expand the province’s Feeding Futures program, providing nutritious meals to 90,000 more students.
The announcement on March 7, 2025, brings B.C. alongside several other provinces that have signed agreements.
To raise awareness last month, Mr Brent Mansfield ran 7 km x 7 times to urge the BC Government to sign the National School Food Agreement 5 to ensure $7.4 million available for this school year wasn’t lost.
Shout out to all those involved that advocated towards B.C. students having access to healthy, sustainable school food.
