The award was presented on Friday, April 17, recognizing the division’s leadership, innovation, and commitment to student well-being through inclusive and accessible nutrition programming.

This provincial recognition highlights the outstanding efforts of LSSD’s Nutrition Program team, whose work ensures that students have consistent access to healthy meals in a welcoming and inclusive environment. Through strong partnerships, creative program design, and a focus on meeting the diverse needs of school communities, the program has become a model of excellence.
LSSD’s Nutrition Program reflects the core principles of the Universal School Nutrition Program, including universal access, nutritional quality, cultural inclusivity, and responsiveness to local needs. By removing barriers related to food insecurity, the program plays a key role in supporting student success, well-being, and engagement in learning.
This achievement would not be possible without the dedication of staff, community partners, and volunteers who work together to make a meaningful difference in the lives of students each day.
