Councillors Peter Fry and Rebecca Bligh have introduced a motion asking the City of Vancouver to reinstate its funding for meal programs in the school district.

Since 2014 , the city has provided $ 320,000 from its annual operating budget to support 3,500 meals each weekday through various programs, including the Food4Schools lunch program.

In March 2025 , the B.C. Government entered into an agreement with the Government of Canada through the National School Food Program .
