The School Food Development Project explored the design and implementation of culturally-appropriate school food programs (SFPs) with Indigenous schools and communities. Partnered with nine Meadow Lake Tribal Council (MLTC) Education schools and three Saskatoon Public (SPS) schools the research team explored strengths and challenges of existing programs; worked with schools to design interventions and initiatives that would strengthen/grow breakfast, lunch and snack programs and increase the amount of food literacy learning happening in classrooms. The Lunch Lessons Learned report acts as a capstone for the project and offers some short case studies, practical recommendations for improving SFPs and links to resources to help schools and agencies along their school food journey.
The School Food Development Project was funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC)'s Healthy Canadians and Communities Fund. The Lunch Lessons Learned report was funded by Network Environments for Indigenous Health Research (NEIHR).
