Nova Scotia School Lunch Program Reminder
Posted on 08/30/2024
In October of 2024, phase one of the Nova Scotia School Lunch Program will launch in 15 SRCE schools, offering nutritious and affordable lunch to approximately 4,125 students every school day.
All schools that have pre-primary or primary to any other grades will be eligible for the school lunch program starting in October of 2024. Further phases of the school lunch program will include older students.
In addition, all schools in the SRCE provide students with access to a free school Breakfast Program that serves healthy food options daily as well as healthy snacks at various locations throughout the school to support student well-being and achievement during structured and unstructured times.
Please visit the provincial School Lunch Program website at NSLunch.ca where you will find up-to-date information about the program as well as answers to frequently asked questions. At the end of September, NSLunch.ca will be home to the online ordering platform which will be used to order child(ren)’s meals.
In early September, families will receive more details about Nova Scotia’s School Lunch Program, including when the program will launch at specific schools.
