Nourish set up a table at the conference of the Teacher’s Association of Physical and Health Education on Oct. 28. It was a delight to share ideas for snacking while outdoors with students, and to give away resources that may help teachers cook in their classrooms.
One teacher asked a question that stumped me. Her scenario: her school in Digby has recently taken over its cafeteria. Her question: “Where should we get the food?”
At a provincial and federal level, the news has never been better for champions of school food. But there is so much to figure out at the school and community level – as the answer to this question will vary! Nourish is in conversation with partners including the RCEs, Mobile Food Market, Feed Nova Scotia, Farmers Markets of Nova Scotia and the Dept of Agriculture as we prepare to co-create the community-based solutions for delivering on school food.
You may have heard that PEI is ahead of Nova Scotia on this learning curve. On November 10, I’ll be hosting a conversation with the Executive Director of the PEI School Food Program Inc. to see what lessons we can learn. Please join us!
