Our Food & Nutrition Policy is based on Canada’s Food Guide and MELS Policy on Healthy Eating and Active Living. MELS policy mandates that foods of good nutritional value be provided to our students in any school/centre initiative which includes special events and fundraising. Therefore, we encourage schools and centres to bear in mind Lester B. Pearson’s commitment to healthy eating when choosing a food-related fundraising activity. However, schools and centres determine their own fundraising activities.
