The Power of School Food Programs in Hamilton and Peel
A recent study conducted on school food programs in Hamilton and Peel has shed light on the significant benefits these initiatives bring to students, families, and communities. The research, published on Sustain Ontario’s website, underscores the importance of investing in local school food programs to improve food security, enhance educational outcomes, and foster community well-being.
The Ontario Chapter of the Coalition for Healthy School Food (which is administered by Sustain Ontario) hosted a webinar on December 3rd, “Parent/Caregiver and Teachers’ perspectives on School Food Programs: Research findings from Hamilton and Peel”, presented by Dr. Tina Moffat, researcher from the Department of Anthropology at McMaster University.
Dr. Moffat shared research results reflecting what the parents and teacher respondents value, understand, and experience within current school food programs, and what they see to be important in the development of a national school food program going forward. We look forward to hearing what YOU think!?
