As the city filed it
Student nutrition programs are community-based meal and snack programs that operate primarily in school settings and are run locally by students, parents, and volunteers. These programs provide students energy and nutrients necessary for learning and development during the school day. On October 9, 2024, City Council adopted HL16.9, Critical Need For Universal Student Nutrition, which provided an overview of student nutrition programs in Toronto and presented a phased-in plan to implement a universal school food program in Toronto.
