Preamble
Whereas, Canada and Nova Scotia are in agreement with the Vision, Principles, Scope and Objectives outlined in the National School Food Policy;
Whereas, Canada and Nova Scotia have committed to work together to establish the National School Food Program notwithstanding that the Government of Nova Scotia has the primary responsibility for the design and delivery of school food programs in Nova Scotia;
Whereas, pursuant to section 10 of the Department of Employment and Social Development Act (DESDA), the federal Minister has the authority to enter into an agreement for the purpose of facilitating the formulation, coordination and implementation of any program or policy relating to the powers, duties and functions conferred by DESDA;
Whereas, section 10 (r) of the Education Act authorizes the Nova Scotia Minister to enter into agreements with the Government of Canada under which Canada undertakes to provide funding toward costs incurred by the Government of Nova Scotia for the provision of school food programming;
Whereas, Canada has, pursuant to its Policy on Transfer Payments, established a transfer payment program to provide funds to the provincial and territorial governments for the development and delivery of school food programs and services;
Whereas, in recognition of the unique rights of Indigenous peoples and Canada’s commitments to reconciliation and self-determination as per the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act and associated "Action Plan", and the “Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action”, Canada strongly supports and endorses the Parties’ respective engagement with First Nations, Inuit, Métis governments and organizations, as well as organizations representing, urban and non-affiliated Indigenous Peoples with a view of determining Indigenous school food priorities and enhancing Indigenous food security, health, and social outcomes;
Whereas, Nova Scotia invests in school food for Indigenous children attending Nova Scotia-operated schools and in schools operated by Mi’kmaw Kina’matnewey, Canada and Nova Scotia agree to work collaboratively with Indigenous governing bodies and organizations to achieve a culturally appropriate National School Food Program;
Whereas, Canada and Nova Scotia recognize that engaging with Official Language Minority Community organizations, taking into account the uniqueness, diversity and historical and cultural contribution of Official Language Minority Communities, and providing services to them in the official language of their choice are critical to the vitality of those communities;
Whereas, the Government of Canada has obligations under the Official Languages Act to provide communications and services to the public in both official languages;
Now therefore, Canada and Nova Scotia agree as follows:
1.0 Vision for a National School Food Program

1.2 Canada and Nova Scotia agree that the funds being provided under this Agreement may be used to complement the additional objectives set out in Annex 2 and which align with the National School Food Policy.
2.0 School Food Objectives and Areas of Investment
2.1 Commitments
2.1.1 Canada and Nova Scotia agree that with the funds allocated over the period of this Agreement, Nova Scotia will enhance and expand school food programming by addressing local, regional and system priorities, towards achieving the following objectives:
- using federal funding to advance the Objectives outlined in the National School Food Policy, with flexibility to add additional, complementary objectives that align with Indigenous priorities and with Nova Scotia’s priorities described in paragraph 1.2;
- ensuring that investments funded through this Agreement consider the specific needs of Indigenous children attending Nova Scotia-operated schools;
- considering, and where appropriate implementing, options beyond federal-provincial/territorial funding for increasing school food investment to reach more students, in alignment with best practices (e.g., pay-what-you-can models).
2.1.2 Nova Scotia’s approach to achieving these objectives is set out in the requirements for their Action Plan attached as Annex 2.
2.2 Eligible Areas for Allocating Federal Investments
2.2.1 Nova Scotia agrees to invest funds provided by Canada under this Agreement to enhance and expand school food programs where:
- delivery of programs and services is in accordance with the Principles and Objectives outlined in the National School Food Policy. Nova Scotia will consider that funding support programs and services delivered predominately by not-for-profit entities, where possible, however, Nova Scotia recognizes there may also be a role for entities that are for-profit in programs and services where it would be beneficial or where there is value for money in terms of price, quality, and quantity when partnering with third-party organizations on program and service delivery;
- for purposes of 2.2.1.a, school food programs and services are defined as those supporting direct provision of food to children in settings including, but not limited to, elementary schools, secondary schools, and community centres;
- at least 95% of the federal funding must be allocated to eligible expenses as defined in this Agreement, during the school year (as defined in this Agreement) for the provision of school food during the school year;
- for the purposes of paragraph 2.2.1.c, funding for school food programs and services delivered in advance of, or during, school holidays that occur during the school year are considered during the school year.
2.2.2 Subject to Canada’s approval, eligible expenditures could include the following: food purchases; staffing; infrastructure that facilitates the preparation, delivery, or safe storage of food; transportation; equipment; and logistics, provided those expenses directly support school food programming. Eligible expenditures could also include program capital and operating costs, quality assurance, administrative and overhead costs, and other expenses necessary to support the delivery of programming.
2.3 Official Languages

Annex 2: National School Food Program – 2024-2025 Action Plan – Nova Scotia
Section 1: Introduction / Overview
Nova Scotia has been investing in school food for many years in response to both student need and the evidence of the benefits to health and learning. Programming has evolved from breakfast programs only, to include snack programs and now the lunch program. A core principle of school food programming in Nova Scotia is that it be non-stigmatizing. This has informed the approach to all programs over the years. The following proposal outlines the history of school food programming in Nova Scotia and how a federal National School Food Program (NSFP) investment can enhance the investments made up to and including 2024-2025.
School Food Investment in 2023-2024
In 2023-2024, the provincial investment was primarily focused on breakfast and snack programs and totalled $3,926,000.
The breakfast program, known as the School Healthy Eating Program (SHEP), had government funding in the amount of $1.8 million (an annual investment), with all funds dedicated to the purchase of food. The implementation of the program is largely volunteer and school run. In 2023-2024, the Department of Health and Wellness and Nova Scotia Health (NSH) collectively administered an additional one-time $1,016,000 to SHEP due to increased demand on the program and increased cost of food. SHEP was present in some form in all of the province’s 373 public schools. In that year, 131,343 students were eligible to participate in the breakfast program and 51,223 (39%) did participate. Breakfast items are offered at no cost to students. Separate from the SHEP budget, NSH provides $35,000 annually for school breakfast to the Mi-kmaw Kina’matnewey (MK) school board which has oversight of schools in Mi’kmaq communities.
The province also administers $275,000 annually to a non-profit called Nourish Nova Scotia (NNS) to provide community support for healthy school food. NNS’s role is youth-focused and includes fundraising programs, awareness raising, support to incorporate healthy food into the school curriculum, and specific projects such as school gardens. Snack programs vary by school but were generally funded by the schools themselves or through partnerships with community, such as the fresh fruit baskets donated by local farmers. Students can participate at no cost. The Department of Agriculture also invests in school food programming, with approximately $800,000 dedicated to supporting subsidized salad bar pilot projects, free fresh fruit baskets, and subsidized milk programs in schools in 2023-2024. It is difficult to report on the official number of snack programs because they are more organic in nature than the provincially funded breakfast and lunch program.
Nova Scotia School Lunch Program Launch in 2024-2025
Prior to 2024-2025, there was no universally available lunch program in Nova Scotia schools. In the 2024-2025 budget, Nova Scotia announced $18.8 million in annual funding for a pay-what-you-can (PWYC) lunch program, with Phase 1 launched in the 2024-2025 school year. The budget also included funding for 10 FTEs to ensure a school food lead in each region and with the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (EECD). These staff were hired in the spring and summer 2024.
All Phase 1 schools were offering the program as of October 28, 2024. The PWYC program sets a maximum price per meal of $6.50. Students/families can pay $0, $6.50, or any amount in between via the online ordering system. If the individual chooses to pay, payment is collected within the same system and the amount is kept confidential.
Planning for Phase 1 began, with the initial launch in 255/373 public schools to be completed by October 31, 2024. The project structure involved consultant support, 10 government departments, NSH, the Regional Centres for Education (RCEs) who operate Nova Scotia’s Anglophone schools, and the Conseil scolaire acadien provincial (CSAP) who operates Nova Scotia’s Francophone schools. Three additional schools were added in November 2024 for a total of 258 in the 2024-2025 school year and approximately 75,000 students eligible to participate. The most recent ordering cycle had a participation rate of 55%.
The first year of the NS School Lunch Program (NSSLP) is focused on the youngest students, including older grades where it made sense to do so due to school configuration (i.e. a school with grades pre-primary to 5 also included older grades). The program has three models: The self-operated model where meals are prepared onsite by staff employed by the school or RCE, the vendor onsite model where a vendor is contracted to prepare and serve the meals onsite at the school, and the offsite vendor model where a vendor is contracted to prepare meals offsite and deliver them to school. The latter model is most common in the Halifax region where fewer schools have kitchens. Early learnings have indicated that the offsite model presents the most challenge in ensuring meals are appetizing and maintain appropriate temperature. As a next step, NS will be identifying the recipes that are optimal for the offsite model so that a tailored menu can be designed for these schools. There will also be consideration given to things like standardized packaging. Where possible, NS will have schools run an onsite model and reserve the offsite model for schools that have no kitchen or feasibility of adding a kitchen. As NS builds new schools, specs for kitchens will be included as will consideration of whether school kitchens can act as hubs for other schools that do not have kitchens.
In preparation for the launch of the NSSLP, schools that required a vendor could elect to continue to work with an existing vendor servicing the school or participate in a Request for Proposals (RFPs) led by their RCE/CSAP. Two RCEs and CSAP issued RFPs in June 2024 to identify vendors for both onsite and offsite model schools. Some vendors are non-profit catering societies while others are for-profit companies. Regardless of the model, vendors are compensated at a rate of up to $6.50 per meal.
Schools vary greatly in their infrastructure, and some required substantial equipment and space upgrades to be able to participate in the program. The budget was able to focus on high priority items only, meaning those that would ensure the school could meet requirements of the Office of the Fire Marshall and the Public Health Inspectors. This left schools with gaps in non-essential equipment. Federal funding support will ensure that schools are well equipped to efficiently and effectively deliver on meal programs. This is expected to improve food quality for students.
Funding was allocated to develop the original program menu, ensuring that two options were available every day (one vegetarian) and that the recipes were assessed for taste, nutrition, cost, scalability, operational feasibility, and minimization of food waste. While this provided a 4-week menu for program start, it did not allow for the development of menus that consider dietary restrictions, such as individuals who require a gluten-free diet. There is also a need to develop additional menus generally. Early feedback from families has demonstrated demand for menus that take this into consideration. Further, the first two months of the rollout have demonstrated that additional menu assessment needs to occur for schools that have meals prepared offsite and delivered. The Halifax RCE in particular has a high volume of schools (n=74) using this model. While the menu is going well in areas where meals are prepared onsite, there are some recipes that do not maintain their quality or presentation in a delivery model. Federal funding for recipe and menu development will enhance access to lunch for students who require gluten free food and ensure overall that meals are high quality for all participating students.
In addition to the above noted meal funding for school lunch, the 2024-2025 provincial budget also included approximately $3 million annually to the MK school board for lunch programming in Indigenous communities.
School Food in Nova Scotia: Roles and Responsibilities
The provincial government’s role in school food includes providing funding to the RCEs, CSAP, and MK. This funding is administered by EECD. For the RCEs/CSAP, the department is also responsible for setting provincial policy (e.g. The Provincial School Food and Nutrition Policy), setting standards for meals served, funding and support for the ordering and payment system, and monitoring and evaluation of the program. The province will provide support to MK as requested but does not have policy oversight. The RCEs/CSAP are responsible for implementation of the program including procurement of equipment, vendors and food supplies, as applicable. NNS is the provincial government’s non-profit partner in school food and receives an annual grant. This grant was increased by $195,333 in 2024-2025 to reflect the addition of school lunch for a total of $470,333. Businesses and individuals can also make donations to schools or the RCEs/CSAP in support of school food. The total number of donations for this school year is not known but is expected to be nominal.
Previous Reports on School Food
A school lunch program was recommended by the Auditor General, and has also been called for by community, the health sector, and the education sector.
Section 2: Implementation Plan
It is proposed that Year One of the federal funding be used to make necessary investments in the breakfast program, Phase 1 of the NSSLP implemented in 2024-2025 and planning for Phase 2 of the NSSLP, which will result in the expansion of the program to more schools in 2025-2026. The initial rollout of the program revealed areas where additional investment is required to support schools, improve access to the program through specialized menus, ensure the program is meeting the needs of students, and make the program a success.
Breakfast Program Extension
As described in Section 1, the provincial breakfast program (SHEP) requires additional funding to be able to extend it throughout the school year. Funds are distributed to all schools via the RCEs/CSAP. Increasing food costs and increased demand on the program have meant that program funds are often exhausted midway through the school year. The education system as well as partners in health and community services work to identify different sources, but this is not a sustainable solution. Additional funding from the federal government that is stable year over year will ensure the program is better able to meet the needs of students throughout the schoolyear.
Recipe and Menu Development - Lunch
The NSSLP has a provincially standardized menu which currently offers 40 meals (2 choices per day, 1 vegetarian) over a 4-week period. The menu was developed with support from the education system, Public Health Nutritionists, and the services of a professional recipe tester. The recipe tester prepared and assessed all meals for taste, scalability, cost, and operational difficulty. She then designed the menu to ensure efficient kitchen operations. The testing did not take into consideration which recipes are optimal for packaging and transport in the offsite model. An early learning of the program is that this along with standards for packaging are needed to ensure food quality upon delivery to students.
The menu is nutritious and diverse in its offerings; however, it may not meet the needs of all students, including older students who may require a larger portion size. As Phase 1 of the program continues to roll out, the project team is also learning about challenges with specific recipes that warrant additional review. This is primarily in relation to the schools that are serviced by off-site vendors where the food needs to be packaged and delivered. While the menu is currently set at the RCE/CSAP level in the IT system, the availability of additional menus would allow for schools to select their menu, ensuring it meets the needs of their particular student population. As one example, a school might choose to offer a Halal menu, if it was on offer, if they have a large number of students who are Muslim or a gluten free menu if they have students who have Celiac disease. Feedback from parents and students during the evaluation process will help identify which types of menus we will focus on developing first.
The process of Phase 1 menu development demonstrated the importance of having experts involved to ensure that recipes and menus are appropriate from a nutrition, portion, taste, feasibility and scalability perspective. This will be especially important when considering specialized menus as well as portions for older students. Federal funding will support the project team to engage with food experts to develop additional recipes and menus and to identify optimal recipes and menus for the delivery model in addition to recommendations on standardized packaging.
Equipment – Breakfast and Lunch
While the 2024-2025 provincial budget provided some funding for equipment purchases for the NSSLP, it was not sufficient to meet all equipment requested by the schools. The province worked with the 255 schools to prioritize equipment that was essential to enable program launch based on health and safety requirements. There are also equipment needs related to breakfast. Schools remain in need of small appliances (e.g. toasters), kitchen supplies (e.g. utensils, kitchenware), and other equipment to ensure efficient kitchen operations as well as waste management. In addition, some schools operating with the off-site model are interested in purchasing equipment to keep food temperature such as hot holding units. Schools launching the lunch program in Phase 2 will also have needs for major appliances (e.g. industrial ovens). Planning for Phase 2 of the program (schools launching in 2025-2026) began in fall 2024. An initial scan of equipment needs for these schools has occurred, with validation to be completed in early 2025. Federal investment will augment the provincial investment, amounting to equipment supports in 171 schools in 2024-2025.
Personnel - Lunch
The volume of work for program implementation in the Halifax RCE is exceeding staff capacity. In the 2024-2025 provincial budget, all other regions received one FTE while Halifax received two FTEs to support the rollout. Although this was intended to compensate for the size of Halifax, it is insufficient given that the region has 40% of the province’s student population and double to quadruple the number of schools compared to other regions. The region also has a larger number of vendors to manage (9), many of which use the offsite delivery model. Early learnings indicate that the offsite vendor model requires a large amount of regional staff time to troubleshoot and address issues. In comparison, the other regions have either fully self-operated schools or a mix of self-operated and 1-2 vendors to manage. Federal funding will support hiring 3 FTEs in addition to the 2 FTEs that the province is funding. One additional RCE, Annapolis Valley, is also in need of additional supports this year (1 FTE).
Project Management Supports – Lunch
Nova Scotia began Phase 2 planning for the 2025-2026 school year in November 2024. Phase 2 will onboard additional schools to the NSSLP. A detailed project plan has been established, with roles and deliverables for consultant support identified. The federal funding will support the province with engaging a consultant to work with the education system on the following elements of the Phase 2 plan in the 2024-2025 school year:
- Overall project management
- Communications planning
- Change management supports
- Monitoring and evaluation planning and incorporation of lessons learned from Phase 1 into all elements of Phase 2
- Updated current state assessment of Phase 2 schools
- Decision support on the delivery model for each school
- Implementation tracking
Additional activities that are likely to begin in 2024-2025, but predominantly occur in 2025-2026, are:
- Identification of equipment needs and support for acquisition
- Support for determining human resources requirements
- Support for food vendor and food supplier procurement
- Training for schools and vendors
- Contingency planning and risk management
Section 3: Indicators, Targets, and Expected Results
All numbers related to the schools and student population are provided by EECD. Appendix 1 of this Action Plan provides a list of all NS schools and their postal codes by RCE/CSAP. All CSAP schools operate in French. All RCE schools operate in English. All schools have a breakfast program. The schools with a lunch program will be noted.
Reportable Indicator | 2023-2024 Baseline | 2024-2025 Target Without NSFP Funding | 2024-2025 Target Including NSFP Funding |
---|---|---|---|
Number of schools | 373 | N/A | N/A |
Number of children | 131,343 | N/A | N/A |
Number of schools with school breakfast programs | 373 | N/A | N/A Footnote 1 |
Number of children eligible to participate in enhanced breakfast programs | 131,343 | N/A | N/A1 |
Number of children participating in breakfast programs | 51,223 | 52,000 | 52,000 |
Number of re-tested recipes available in the NS School Lunch Program. | 0 | 0 | 40 |
Number of recipes available that consider special dietary needs. | 6 | 6 | TBDFootnote 2 |
Number of pieces of equipment purchased in support of school food. | 0 | 584 | 1143 |
Number of full-time equivalent staff supporting school food at the regional level. | 0 | 9 | 12 |
Data collection related to the breakfast program has been occurring for several years and is also available via EECD. EECD Finance works closely with the finance leads in the RCEs/CSAP on equipment expenditures and staffing costs. These are tracked and will be made available for reporting. EECD can also report on the number of recipes and menus that the program began with and the number of modifications made to support dietary needs. The ordering system for the lunch program will support reporting on the expansion of the lunch program in future years.
The expected results are that the federal funding for the breakfast program will support the program to stabilize and ensure there are no shortages in breakfast programs across all schools. Although the number of schools with breakfast will remain unchanged between 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, the key difference is that federal funding will enable the programs to have a more robust offering in terms of the amount of food and able to sustain the entire school year, providing more consistent support to approximately 52,000 students.
Federal funding will support 171 schools with 559 pieces of equipment that will support both breakfast and lunch programming. The funding will also support 3 school food positions across two regions (Halifax and Annapolis Valley). These regional positions will work with provincially funded regional positions to support 119 schools in their first year of operating the provincial lunch program. The development of gluten-free and more allergen conscious recipes will improve program inclusivity by allowing more children to participate. Federal funding will support the testing of 40 recipe items, ensuring they are formulated in a way that reduces allergens. The funding will also support the testing of these recipes in formats that provide a gluten free option. At this time a target number of gluten free options has not been set but will be communicated as soon as possible. The recipe testing will also identify which meals are best suited for the offsite model so that a tailored menu can be developed that best supports food quality for these schools.
Section 4: Expenditures

Section 5: Indigenous Collaboration
Funding to support lunch for Indigenous students, regardless of whether they attend school in community or outside of community, was included in the provincial budget. EECD engaged with both the MK School Board and EECD’s Indigenous Services Branch. Given the existing breakfast funding relationship between NSH and MK, EECD has agreed for NSH to provide this funding for lunch as well and continue their relationship working with MK. The province has offered any supports from the project team, such as the recipes/menu, program guides, or project support, but does not have oversight to the delivery of the program in Indigenous schools. Traditional dishes have been included in the provincial menu.
Section 6: Official Language Minority Communities (OLMCs)
Nova Scotia’s CSAP is the schoolboard that operates Francophone schools in Nova Scotia. Along with the RCEs which operate Anglophone schools, CSAP was an integral part of the project team. CSAP was provided funding for a 1.0 FTE school food lead along with all of the other budget supports to launch Phase 1 of their school lunch program like their counterparts in the RCEs. All materials, including program guides, the recipes, and the online ordering and payment system are available in both official languages. Traditional Acadian dishes such as Rappie Pie and a chicken stew inspired by Acadian Chicken Fricot were included in the menu in honour of Acadian culture.
Section 7: Reporting
The Government of Nova Scotia commits to collecting and reporting to Canada no later than April 30, 2025 the interim results of National School Food Program funding to Nova Scotia on indicators as above in Section 3.
