Thank you, Port Moody!

Further benefits include better student self-esteem and improved mental health, as well as societal benefits overall...
SCHOOL FOOD PROGRAMS
Canada remains one of the few industrialized countries without a national school food program. Canada’s current patchwork of school food programming reaches only a small percentage of our over five million students.
