It was a pleasure to speak at 411 Seniors Services Society with NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, my wonderful colleague Bonita Zarillo & our great candidate for Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam Laura Dupont.
Don was joined by Suzie Mah, Vancouver School Board Trustee, and Sherry Stevenson, Executive Director of Fresh Roots Urban Farm at a town hall to discuss the national school nutrition program.
Don has championed a universal National School Nutrition Program so every child in Canada has access to healthy meals at school. Now, with $1 billion committed over five years, we've taken a step forward - but there's more to do.
Don, Suzie and Sherry discussed how we can integrate local food providers, Indigenous food initiatives, and sustainable farm-to-school programs to create a healthier, more resilient food system.
