Once a year, the Coalition plans an in-person meeting providing members a chance to discuss the upcoming year’s plan in more detail. Members will also be able to participate virtually. This year’s meeting will have three goals: 1. Plan next steps for the #NourshKidsNow campaign Including outreach to elected politicians and senior civil servants. See our blog post on our letter sent to Prime Minister. 2. Provincial and territorial Campaigns Hear about the campaigns to increase funding and build support for curriculum change across Canada. See how our member PEI Home and School Foundation has been instrumental in the new Provincial Government advancing the creation of a “ fulsome provincial school food program. 3. Network and sharing best practices amongst members Provide opportunities for members to share best practices and developments at the local school food program level. Members report that they come away from the in-person meeting with great ideas for their lunch, breakfast, snack, school food or school food literacy and gardening program! |
