Northumberland Regional High in Alma has developed a unique school food program.
Central Nova MP Sean Fraser says his office received about 30 letters from students over the past couple of months, inviting him to check out a food initiative they have been working on.
Fraser says the program initially began a few years ago, at or just before the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fraser says paying a visit the school to see this program is very timely. He says in December, a private members bill was passed in the House of Commons to adopt a national framework to establish a school food program.
Fraser says with the bill passed, a school food policy will be developed. He says a few steps remain before the federal government rolls out a national school food program.
