The Pre-budget
submission
(May 2026)

Canada has taken an important step forward with a permanent National School Food Program, marking a historic milestone for children, youth, families, and communities.
 

In May 2026, the Coalition for Healthy School Food submitted its latest 2026 Pre-Budget Submission to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance, outlining recommendations to build on that momentum and help ensure that more children and youth can access healthy school food from coast to coast to coast.

Stay Active For School Food!

For generations, school food programs have helped children and youth arrive in class ready to learn, participate, and feel connected to their communities. With a permanent National School Food Program now in place, Canada has taken an important step forward.

Now comes the next chapter. We invite people in Canada to raise their voices for healthy school food by using our advocacy letter templates and helping ensure that more children and youth can benefit from school food programs from coast to coast to coast.

Our principles

All children should have access to healthy food at school. The Coalition for Healthy School Food works to lay the foundation for healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime and ensure that learning is not hindered by a lack of access to healthy food.
