Nearly a million Ontario children will have access to school meals this year, federal officials say.
The officials told Global News Friday that Ottawa will be chipping in $108.5 million over the next three years to Ontario’s existing Student Nutrition Program and First Nations Student Nutrition Program, which provides meal through more than 13 agencies to schools across the province
The government source said that means “close to a million Ontario kids” will have access to school food before summer break, representing almost 75 per cent of the province’s schools.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in Brampton Friday to announce new details on his government’s National School Food Program.
