A new funding stream named Feeding Futures will provide access to healthy snacks at school.
A total of $214 million will be invested by the province over three years to purchase healthy food and hire dedicated staff to coordinate meals and snacks for students.
Ministry of Education and Child Care will work with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food to include the FeedBC program in schools.
Tackling student hunger and reducing pressure on parents dealing with inflation, this marks the biggest investment in school food programs in provincial history.
