School Food Infrastructure Fund
The Saskatchewan School Boards Association (SSBA) has been approved to receive $1 million in federal government funding from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s (AAFC) School Food Infrastructure Fund (SFIF) to expand school food infrastructure in Saskatchewan.
SSBA’s project “Expanding school food infrastructure in Saskatchewan: Ensuring equitable reach” will distribute funding to eligible organizations across the province who are serving school food and nutrition programs for children and youth in need.
The SFIF supports the purchase and installation of infrastructure and equipment that increases the capacity of community organizations to produce, process, store, and distribute food for school food programs. The intent is also to strengthen wider community and local food systems through investments in infrastructure that expand the reach and impact of school food programming.
Eligible recipients for SSBA’s project are community-based, not-for-profit organizations engaged with school food programs. These organizations must evidence a relationship with the school(s)/school division(s) their project will serve.
