WE NEED A DEDICATED SCHOOL FUND TO 

#NOURISH KIDS NOW

 INVEST IN SCHOOL FOOD


The COVID-19 crisis has revealed that school food is an essential public good, just like K-12 education and healthcare. Everyone needs access to good food to be healthy, particularly children and youth, and we need strong and resilient food systems to keep us safe.
Promoting school food is a grassroots campaign that is calling on the federal government to make a cost-shared investment in healthy, universal school food programs, which would build on the investments of our provinces, municipalities and communities.

Every day in education settings, teachers and school staff positively impact the lives of millions of children every day, and their work and impact extends far beyond the boundaries of the classroom.

Teacher / Staff Appreciation Week (TSAW) was initiated by the Canadian Home and School Federation in 1988 and is  held the week of Valentine Day ( February 14th). 

The purpose of this week is to encourage parents and the wider community to recognize the personal and professional contributions that our teachers and school staff make to children and their education.
 
Every school has dedicated staff members. TSAW lets them know they are appreciated and that parents want to work with them on the same team!

​Canada was the first country in the world to adopt an official multiculturalism policy.
This policy was meant to preserve cultural freedoms and recognize the contributions of diverse groups to Canadian society. Today it’s a defining feature of the Canadian identity - but for much of our history that wasn’t the case. Explore our complex and multifaceted past and present with the new History of Multiculturalism in Canada education guide.
