Student Nutrition Programs in Toronto Schools (free breakfast, snacks and meals)

Programs in Toronto schools that give students healthy breakfasts, morning meals, snacks or lunches each school day. Over 230,000 Toronto students take part every day. The City of Toronto funds them through Toronto Public Health, with money from Ontario and from the Government of Canada, whose National School Food Program adds funding to Ontario's Student Nutrition Program.
