The EMSB aims at promoting health-enhancing attitudes and behaviours among all students by providing an environment encouraging healthy eating habits. By ensuring access to nutritious foods through our school cafeterias and our nutritional support programs, we contribute to the achievement of our students’ full academic potential. By teaching the essential knowledge and skills students need to make nutritious food choices, we contribute to the prevention of childhood nutrition-related problems such as obesity, diabetes and dental diseases.
Fully equipped cafeterias with daily snack and lunch service are offered in most of our secondary schools. Our goal is to promote healthy eating habits among students. Nutritious food items are subsidized to encourage their consumption.
Furthermore, lunch service for participating elementary schools is offered by EMSB Food and Nutrition Services. Parents may register and order meals online at Le Mini Bistro. Meals are prepared fresh everyday and delivered directly to students at their school.
Trained dietitians and food technicians follow the guidelines of the EMSB’s Nutrition policy (PDF) and oversee food preparation in school cafeterias.
