Section 1 - Introduction/overview

Newfoundland and Labrador holds a fundamental belief that all students must be provided with opportunities to learn and thrive, regardless of their family circumstances. Children cannot learn when they are hungry. The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador (GNL) is committed to ensuring inclusive, accessible school food programs are available for all students at all grade levels.

Through the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (EECD), funding is provided for breakfast, lunch and snack programming.

Traditionally, the GNL has supported both breakfast and lunch programming. In November 2024, the province announced that a pay-what-you-can lunch service would be available to all pre-kindergarten to grade 9 students. In 2025, this was expanded to include lunch programming for students at all grade levels (pre-kindergarten to grade 12).

In September 2024, the GNL became the first provincial or territorial government to sign a bilateral agreement with the Government of Canada under the National School Food Program (NSFP) (2024 to 2027). In the six months following, considerable work was done on developing a program to be rolled out for school lunch programming, supported by GNL's provincial investment (given that 100% of GNL's NSFP 2024 to 2025 allocation was carried forward). This included consultations with school food providers, schools and community groups and organizations, development of staffing strategies, assessments of equipment and facility requirements for schools, and the implementation of a pilot project to move schools from a retail model for school lunch delivery to a pay-what-you-can program.

Nine schools were part of the pilot program, which took place during the last seven weeks of the 2024 to 2025 school year. The schools were located across the province and included elementary, intermediate and K-12 schools. Following the pilot program, families were surveyed to provide feedback on their experiences with the new program, which informed program improvements before moving into the 2025 to 2026 school year.

In 2024 to 2025, $10 million was allocated to school lunch programming. In 2025 to 2026, approximately $38 million was allocated for the full school lunch program rollout.

Additionally, an operating grant of approximately $1.4 million is provided to the Kids Eat Smart Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador each year (breakfast and snack programming). Breakfast programming in Newfoundland and Labrador is spearheaded by the Kids Eat Smart Foundation, a registered charity. The program is free to students and is funded by the Kids Eat Smart Foundation and schools' fundraising efforts. It is operated by volunteers and school staff.

GNL also provides funding of nearly $400,000 each year to the School Milk Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador to supply schools with milk at a reduced cost. This program is in partnership with the Dairy Farmers of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Funding received through the NSFP will be complementary to the provincial investment in school food programs. The GNL has committed to maintain their provincial investment in school food programs moving forward, including in 2026 to 2027.

In 2025 to 2026 and 2026 to 2027, the priority area of investment continues to be the expansion of the school lunch program. This program will be developed and implemented by EECD. Prior to the GNL-supported school lunch program expansion, lunch programming in the province was being offered by both non-profit and for-profit school food providers (such as, Chartwells, the School Lunch Association, local restaurants/retailers, etc.). Some non-profit organizations offer a pay-what-you-can model, whereas other non-profit organizations and for-profit operators charge costs based on the meal.

Section 2 - Implementation plan

EECD is keenly aware that a one-size-fits-all school lunch program will not work for our province. There are many issues to consider when implementing any program, including school size, school location (such as, remote schools), cultural considerations, school infrastructure requirements, school lunch provider availability, and supply chain challenges, among others. That is why the Department is coordinating with school administrators, school lunch providers, community groups, Indigenous governments and organizations, the Conseil scolaire francophone provincial de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador (CSFP, the French language school district in the province), and others to ensure that any program implemented in a school is appropriate, accessible and sustainable.

In 2024 to 2025, of the 254 public schools in the province, 42 schools had a pay-what-you-can school lunch program, which was supported by a grant from the GNL. 66 schools had a school lunch program operated under the retail model, and 146 schools had no school lunch program. To ensure all public schools in the province have a pay-what-you-can school lunch program, EECD plans to expand and enhance school lunch programing through the following initiatives.

2025 to 2026 Goals

  • Move 37 schools that operate under the retail model to the government-supported pay-what-you-can school lunch model. Retail models provide lunch in schools for students who are able to pay for the options available.
  • Bring 42 schools that have an existing pay-what-you-can model under the government-supported program to provide better support to the charitable organization that runs them. These programs are currently run by the School Lunch Association, which receives donations from numerous sources, including the GNL, to fund their operations. Once they join the government-supported program, they will be compensated for their services in a fee-for-service manner under the new program (such as, based on the number of orders).
  • Upgrade kitchens facilities in schools. For these schools, the focus is on kitchen equipment upgrades to meet operational and occupational health and safety standards. We anticipate creating and/or upgrading kitchens at more than 50 schools during this fiscal year.
  • Provide support to smaller community groups and non-profits to ensure they are well-positioned to be part of the school lunch program.
  • Working with the Office of the Chief Information Officer to implement a centralized ordering system for school lunch that will be used by all providers that have joined onto the government-supported program, schools and families. This system will allow families to experience the same system for ordering school lunch, regardless of where they live or who provides school lunch in their area. This system will also help to ensure that EECD has accurate, up-to-date data on meals served, the number of students taking part in the lunch service, menus and so on for each school with a school lunch program.
  • Hire three key personnel to work at the provincial-level on the development of school lunch programming across the province.
  • Provide financial support to non-profits and community groups to purchase food for school lunch programs.
  • Continue to work with Indigenous governments and organizations to support school lunch programs. This includes working with the Nunatsiavut Government and the Nunatukavut Community Council to provide lunch service delivery in Labrador schools within their regions.
  • Continue work with the CSFP to ensure school lunch services are available in French as a first language schools in the province.
  • Issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to expand pay-what-you-can school lunch programming to an additional 41 schools in Newfoundland and Labrador that do not currently have a school lunch program, beginning in the 2025 to 2026 school year.
  • Survey families, students and schools to ensure that the school lunch program meets the needs of the school community.
  • Work with school food providers to enhance programming as needed. This may include changing menu options, changing ordering windows for families, providing additional communications to families, etc.
  • Engage in consultations with families from schools with fewer than 75 students to determine the need for school lunch programming for their community and the type of program they would require.
  • Work with the GNL Department of Health and Community Services to develop professional learning on School Food Guidelines with the aim of creating better awareness of healthy eating and the role schools play.
  • With the Evaluation and Accountability Division of the Treasury Board Secretariat, initiate collaborative planning for the creation of the Newfoundland and Labrador School Lunch Expansion Program evaluation framework.

2026 to 2027 Goals

  • Move an additional 10 schools from their current retail lunch model to the pay-what-you-can model under the government-supported program.
  • Upgrade kitchens facilities in schools. We anticipate creating and/or upgrading more than 30 additional schools during this fiscal year. This work will require more structural work than in previous years and will take more time to put in place.
  • Provide support to smaller community groups and non-profits to ensure they are well-positioned to be part of the school lunch program.
  • Launch the centralized ordering system for school lunch that will be used by all providers that have joined onto the government-supported program, schools and families. This will include the creation of materials to assist families and food providers to navigate the system with ease. Learning opportunities will also be provided to food providers so they can have advanced insight into the system before food service begins.
  • Provide financial support to non-profits and community groups to purchase food for school lunch programs.
  • Develop appropriate lunch programming for small schools (schools with fewer than 75 students). Factors to be considered include the remoteness of the school, accessibility for procurement and storage, and the ability for food service providers to operate in schools with a very low number of participating students.
  • Continue work with Indigenous governments and organizations to support school lunch programs.
  • Continue work with the CSFP.
  • Work with community partners to develop materials in various languages, as may be required. That material may include explanation of the program, how to order, etc.
  • Issue RFPs to expand school lunch programming to additional schools in Newfoundland and Labrador that currently don't have school lunch programming, beginning in the 2026 to 2027 school year. Another 30-50+ schools will be included in these RFPs.
  • Survey families, students and schools to ensure programs meet the needs of their school community.
  • Work with school food providers to enhance programming as needed (examples of enhancements provided above, for 2025 to 2026).
  • Engage in consultations with high school students, families and schools to develop a non-stigmatizing school lunch program that meets the needs of high school students.
  • Finalize and implement the Newfoundland and Labrador School Lunch Expansion Program evaluation framework. GNL anticipates that findings will be available by the end of the 2026 to 2027 school year.

Please see Appendix A for details on how these activities will make progress on each of the six principles of the National School Food Policy, and some or all the associated objectives of each principle, as per the National School Food Policy.

Section 3 - Indicators, targets and expected results

Available data is provided in Appendix B. Some data is not available at this time. Newfoundland and Labrador anticipates being able to provide more detailed information by August 2026.

Newfoundland and Labrador will continue to invest in efforts that will help strengthen data collection and reporting (such as, developing and launching a centralized ordering system for school lunch programming).

Newfoundland and Labrador commits to providing an update on the indicators provided in Appendix B by August 2026. The update will include validating and revising the data for all indicators, including those measuring the number of children and youth with access to school food programming, to instead reflect student participation.

Newfoundland and Labrador's federal funding allocations in 2025 to 2026 and 2026 to 2027 will support the expansion of a pay-what-you-can delivery model for school lunch programming, province-wide. While the data provided in Appendix B relates to school food programming supported by both provincial and federal funding, only the results pertaining to lunch programming can be associated with federal funding.

Please see Appendix C for a list of all schools offering breakfast programming as of the end of the 2024 to 2025 school year.

Please see Appendix D for a list of all schools offering a pay-what-you-can school lunch program as of the end of the 2024 to 2025 school year.

Section 5 - Indigenous collaboration

Newfoundland and Labrador is continuing work with the Nunatsiavut Government to offer school lunch programming in five schools on the North coast of Labrador, serving approximately 530 students in total. The implementation of school food programs will be led by the Nunatsiavut Government.

When fully implemented, the program will see healthy "brown bag" lunches provided to students five days a week. Enhanced healthy snacks will also be available, including a weekly fruit basket for each school location.

Several issues, including staffing requirements and school kitchen facilities, will impact the expansion of a program to five days a week in these remote northern communities. It is anticipated that the program will be offered two or three days a week for the 2025 to 2026 school year, and will be fully implemented in the 2026 to 2027 school year.

Discussions are underway with the NunatuKavut Community Council to develop a similar program for schools in southern Labrador. The implementation of school lunch programs in southern Labrador will be led by the NunatuKavut Community Council. Plans are to make lunch available to approximately 440 students in eight schools. The program will launch in the 2026 to 2027 school year.

We will engage with Qalipu First Nation to discuss Indigenous considerations for school food programming in schools, particularly in St. George's, which has a majority of the province's Indigenous students.

Section 6 - Official language minority communities (OLMCs)

Six schools with approximately 440 students operate under the CSFP (the French language school district in the province):

  • École Boréale, Happy Valley-Goose Bay
  • École des Grands-Vents, St. John's
  • École l'ENVOL, Labrador City
  • École Notre-Dame-du-Cap, Cape St. George
  • École Rocher-du-Nord, St. John's
  • École Sainte-Anne, Mainland

Breakfast programming is offered in all French language schools and a pay-what-you-can lunch service is currently available at École des Grands-Vents in St. John's.

We are working collaboratively with the CSFP to launch a pay-what-you-can lunch program to the remaining five schools under their operation. Engagement will continue throughout the implementation of the lunch program and beyond to ensure the program meets the needs of their school communities.

These schools are included in the RFPs being issued and start-ups will be determined based on the results of the RFP process.

Section 7 - Reporting

Newfoundland and Labrador commits to sharing an annual report and audited financial statement with Canada for each of the two fiscal years no later than October 1, 2026, and October 1, 2027, outlining the investments and results of the previous fiscal year. The annual reports will show the results attributable to the funding provided by Canada under the Agreement, including:

  • Results for common indicators, as set out in Section 3 and Appendix B of the Action Plan, for each year;
  • Narrative description of the activities, expenditures and results, as set out in Section 2 of the Action Plan, for each fiscal year; and
  • Narrative description of consultation processes with Indigenous peoples, OLMCs as well as parents, students and stakeholders.

Newfoundland and Labrador commits to continuing to work together with Canada to improve data collection and dissemination on key school food indicators, including, but not limited to, exploring the collection of outcomes-based (in contrast to reach-based) indicators to measure the broader impact of school food programming (on areas such as academic performance, attendance rates, mental or physical wellbeing, etc.), and sharing interim data for common indicators as available (for example, quarterly, semi-annually, etc.).
