The ON-CHSF is working to educate decision makers of all parties about the value of school food programs and the need for strong public investments from all levels of government. We do this while showing appreciation for current investments in Ontario’s Student Nutrition Program and First Nation Student Nutrition Program. 

 

Our approach is supportive in nature, highlighting the benefits of the programs, the current challenges, and what can be achieved with more investment and support. We have seen the greatest success in building relationships and opening people to see the bigger vision, rather than criticizing decision makers. We provide resources and tools for Chapter members and endorsers to support this approach, and encourage others to use a similar framing in their outreach efforts.​
