With schools across the province starting classes this week, the Manitoba government says nutritious meals and snacks are now available for students across the province, as part of the universal nutrition program.
Premier Wab Kinew, along with Education Minister Nello Altomare and River East Transcona School Division superintendent Sandra Herbst made the announcement Thursday morning from Donwood School.“We made a commitment to Manitoba families that we’d make sure kids across our province had access to food when they go to school, and we’ve delivered on that promise.
“As kids head back to class this week, they’ll be able to get a meal or a snack when they need one, so they can concentrate, learn and reach their full potential.”The province said around $21 million has been spread throughout public schools in Manitoba’s 37 school divisions, with $6 million directed specifically toward the 50 schools with the highest socio-economic need.For news impacting Canada and around the world, sign up for breaking news alerts delivered directly to you when they happen.
