CLUB DES PETITS DÉJEUNERS
FAITS SAILLANTS
Highlights
Throughout the year, Club employees work on
numerous projects and initiatives to help children
access a nutritious breakfast. It takes an entire
team to move our mission forward. Here are a few
highlights from the past year.
PROGRAMS AND OPERATIONS
PROGRAM SUPPORT
Our program coordinators visited hundreds of schools across
country during the school year, including nine programs
and community partners in the Northwest Territories and
Nunuvat. These visits highlighted the unique challenges faced
by breakfast programs in remote northern regions of Canada,
as well as the positive impact of direct, personalized support
provided by our program coordinators. During the visit to
Nunavut, a new donor partner, crucial to supporting schools
in the territory, had the opportunity to witness first-hand the
impact of breakfast programs by involving its employees in
serving breakfast at a school in Arviat.
During our visits, we observed various challenges being faced
by many schools, such as a shortage of human resources and
volunteers to manage programs, rising food costs and the
significant increase in program attendance. Despite these
challenges, we met individuals committed to making a
difference for their students and found programs that were
deeply rooted in their schools and communities.
In addition to these visits, team members organized webinars on
various topics and regional roundtable discussions with schools
to foster direct connections and to share success stories.
INCREASED REACH TO CHILDREN
AND SCHOOLS
Thanks to additional private and public funding, our team was
able to launch a number of new breakfast programs this year.
We opened some 30 programs in schools across the country
and nine new programs in early childhood education centres
in Quebec, allowing us to help more than 3,000 additional
children. Testimonials received confirm the importance and
necessity of this support for children. More than 800 schools
are awaiting assistance, and we are actively seeking new
sources of funding to meet their needs.
UPDATE OF OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES
We revised and updated our guiding principles to convey a
shared vision of breakfast programs with the Club team, as well
as with our school, community, philanthropic and government
partners. These principles serve as a compass to direct our
efforts, ensuring that, together, we can work toward the best
possible breakfast programs. They also represent the values
we apply in our field support, taking into account the needs
and realities of each school community. Together, we work
every day to reaffirm the shared vision of breakfast programs.
