Mayoral candidate Olivia Chow is promising to provide lunches in school if re-elected, a move she says will save parents an estimated $1,800 per year. “Prices at big grocery stores just keep rising
With a robust school food program, we can give parents some breathing room.
We can save families thousands of dollars a year feeding kids in school. And give parents a break on making lunch every day,”
Chow said. “Back in 1990, Jack Layton and I made a plan to feed every kid in Toronto schools.
More than ever, school food can save families money and help kids focus on their teacher, not their hunger. We need to keep moving forward, not backwards.”
