Invest in 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.

​The Canadian Home and School Federation 

Teacher / Staff Appreciation Week (TSAW) was initiated by the Canadian Home and School Federation in 1988. 

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!

The Canadian Home and School Federation (CHSF) is a national organization representing provincial Home and School Federations,  and is the only organization linking provincial parent groups across Canada on issues of common national interest in public education.
The Canadian Home and School Federation is a national, non-profit and non-partisan umbrella organization for provincial affiliates, Home and School Federations,  representing parents committed to improving the quality of education available to their children.
​      Vision: ​Excellence in public education of all Canadian children and                           youth. 
      Mission: The Canadian Home and School Federation, the national                               voice of parents, promotes excellence in public education as                           well as the social well being of children and youth.
     Fundamental beliefs:

• All children and youth in Canada are entitled to an excellent public education,
• Parents must be recognized as key education partners in preserving and promoting excellence in public education,
• The voice of parents with children in public schools must be heard nationally, provincially, and locally through recognized “Home and School” associations/council,
• The health and well-being of Canadian students are essential components to learning,
• Parents must be valued and respected in their role as advocates for children and youth.
