School Lunch Service:

We are pleased to announce that we have secured a lunch provider in our cafeteria and lunch service will be available for the month of June starting on June 2nd and ending on June 20th.

The School Lunch Association, a charitable organization which serves lunch to children in 43 schools in the province will be our new provider. They operate a “Pay-What-You-Can” model to ensure that all children have access to a hot nutritious lunch each school day. Their operation requires, that parents and guardians, register their children for their program and order lunch approximately two weeks in advance of their service date. This is due to the nature of their operation in procuring food in advance and ensuring timely delivery with their vendors.

Their registration and ordering period for the month of June is now open as of today, Friday May 9th and will remain open until Friday May 16th at 12pm.

They have provided the following link to their website which outlines how the program works, registration information, their menu as well as a 2-minute tutorial video.
