Student Nutrition Programs in Ontario

Halton Food for Thought is part of a larger group of organizations providing access to healthy and nutritious meals and snacks for Ontario students at school. We are grateful for our community partners in the area of student nutrition including Student Nutrition Ontario who oversee this in the Province of Ontario.

Our organization has been entrusted with overseeing Student Nutrition Programs in Halton by the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services as the sole provider of these programs across the region. In partnership with the publicly funded school boards in Halton Region, we are working towards running Student Nutrition Programs in all of their schools to be able to offer our programs to the over 100,000 students in the region.

Student Nutrition Programs

Where?

In Ontario, Student Nutrition Programs are over-seen by the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services and provide healthy meals and snacks to students before and during school hours. To remain universal and non-stigmatizing, programs are offered free of charge and all students in each partner school are encouraged to participate in the program. Programs operate in publicly funded Halton schools and serve both elementary and secondary students

Why?

Students arrive at school hungry for several reasons. To ensure that students can concentrate on their school day ahead, Student Nutrition Programs offer them healthy meals and snacks to alleviate their hunger which can lead to an increase in their energy levels, support engagement at school while making healthy food choices.

How?

Student Nutrition Program Nutrition Guidelines establish a province wide standard to assist the selection of nutritious foods provided by Student Nutrition Programs and help promote healthy eating habits amongst children and youth. They focus on three main food groups from the Canadian Food Guide – Fruits & Vegetables, Grains and Protein with a variety of options to support different cultural and dietary needs of students.
