Nutrition Programs in MHPSD

The brain needs a lot of energy and nutrients. Learning is hard to do when you are hungry! With that in mind, MHPSD has created valuable partnerships with Breakfast Club of Canada and The Root Cellar, to support the nutritional needs of all students.

Breakfast Club of Canada

Breakfast programs ensure students have reliable access to nutritious food in a safe and supportive environment, to positively impact health and learning. Breakfast Club of Canada provides funding for food and equipment to support schools in serving daily nutritious breakfast items for any student who self-identifies as hungry.
