Lost in the Garden

Dear government leaders,

I am writing to emphasize the critical importance of implementing a comprehensive school food security program. As stewards of our nation's future, we bear the responsibility of ensuring that every child has access to nutritious meals, regardless of their socioeconomic background. A school food security program not only addresses immediate hunger concerns but also lays the foundation for lifelong health and academic success. By providing consistent access to wholesome meals, we empower students to concentrate on their studies, foster their physical and cognitive development, and cultivate healthy eating habits that extend into adulthood. Moreover, such a program contributes to a more equitable society, mitigating the detrimental effects of food insecurity on vulnerable communities. Therefore, I urge your support in prioritizing and funding initiatives that establish and sustain robust school food security measures, thereby enriching the lives and futures of our nation's youth.

Canadian students demand for their communities to have access to clean, nutritious, and affordable food, and believe that the effects of climate change have a large impact on Canadian food security.
