Nutrition Program

Overview of our Nutrition Plan

The Manitoba Universal School Nutrition Program was launched to address food insecurity among students and promote healthy eating habits. The program ensures that every student in the province has access to nutritious meals and snacks, free of charge, without any barriers such as proof of need. This initiative is part of the Manitoba government's commitment to support student learning and well-being.

Types of Meals: The program provides healthy breakfast items and snacks such as cereals, yogurt, muffins, cheese, crackers, granola bars, banana bread, fruits, and veggies. The breakfast and snacks are available throughout the school day. Nutritious lunches are prepared daily and available to students as needed. The lunches meet the Moving Forward with School Nutrition Guidelines.

The program has positively impacted students' health, attendance, and academic performance. Feedback from parents and educators indicates that access to nutritious food helps students focus better during class and supports their overall well-being.

Conclusion

The Manitoba Universal School Nutrition Program is a significant step towards ensuring that all students have access to healthy food, which is essential for their learning and development. The program continues to evolve, with ongoing support from the government and community partners to meet the needs of students across the province.
