Get on the New School Food Map!

In honour of last month’s theme of Food Connects we’re excited to announce Farm to Cafeteria Canada’s new tool to help you connect with schools and community partners across the country. 

Throughout 2022 Farm to Cafeteria Canada, in partnership with the Coalition for Healthy School Food, has worked to revise its School Food Map to: 

• make it easier for folks to get on the map and keep their profile up to date

• make it so that community partners that provide services to schools (including local food providers) can get on the map

• include more information about the services offered by community partners and the activities of schools (e.g. food literacy activities, local food purchased, meals served) 

• incorporate more advanced filtering and sorting capabilities (by region, activity, etc.) so as to be an information and networking tool

• acknowledge Indigenous lands

We’re on the new school food map! And now it’s your turn - take 10 minutes to get on the map and invite other schools, organizations and other champions who are involved with school food to get on it too. Their big goal is to get 500 entries by the end of 2022 and get up to 1500 by the end of the 2022-23 school year.
