In the current (2007-2008) school year, we have funded 285 school nutrition programs in 263 Alberta schools, serving 13, 580 students nutritious meals.
The total amount given for nutrition grants in Alberta schools from April 1, 2007 to March 2008 was $215,670.00. An additional $ 88,665.00 was given to these schools for our “Fuel Up with Vegetables and Fruit” campaign. These funds, donated by our two supporting partners, were awarded to exclusively purchase vegetables and fruit.
The Breakfast For Learning Alberta Advisory Council (BFLAAC) is the Alberta arm of the national organization- BREAKFAST FOR LEARNING-Canadian Living Foundation- and was established as a volunteer board in May 2003. The Council is mandated to review all Alberta – based grant applications and make funding recommendations to BREAKFAST FOR LEARNING. In addition, the Council advocates for healthy nutrition policy in schools, provides nutrition information, and promotes and supports school- based programs in Alberta. The Council is comprised of 10 volunteers, geographically distributed throughout the province.
The Alberta Coordinator is responsible for helping to organize and support the school-based nutrition programs associated with Breakfast for Learning Alberta.
