HIGHLIGHTS
BREAKFAST CLUB OF CANADA
Government
Relations
Throughout its 2023–2024 fiscal year, the Club strengthened its relationship with various
government entities to promote children's well-being and food security. These connections
were instrumental in securing financial support in Quebec, influencing public policy across
the country — especially the creation of the first National School Food Policy — and raising
public awareness about the importance of good nutrition for all schoolchildren.
ADVOCACY AND ENGAGEMENT
AWARENESS AND EDUCATION
We organized numerous awareness campaigns to inform policymakers of the challenges faced by families and children across
the country. Information sessions were held with federal and provincial elected officials to discuss the positive impacts of
breakfast programs and the challenges faced by school communities.
BREAKFAST ON THE HILL
On November 20, 2023, the second edition of our event on Parliament Hill gathered ministers, MPs and senators from all
political parties to highlight the crucial importance of a national school food program. This meeting allowed us to share our
expertise and explore solutions to overcome the ongoing challenges of school nutrition, particularly the issue of insufficient
funding. We are proud that three statements were made by two political parties in the House of Commons, underscoring
the importance of a national school food program. Aligned with the theme of National Child Day, this initiative significantly
contributed to strengthening our commitment to children’s right to healthy nutrition.
