Saskatchewan Signs on to the National School Food Program

Mar 11, 2025

Today, the governments of Saskatchewan and Canada have signed a $15.8 million three-year agreement under the National School Food Program.

The federal investment is in addition to Saskatchewan's Child Nutrition Program, which in 2024-25 invested $2.7 million to assist school divisions and community-based organizations in addressing child hunger, offer nutrition education and provide skill-building opportunities like cooking classes.

"When kids are hungry, they can't focus - it's that simple," Federal Minister of Families, Children and Social Development Jenna Sudds said "That's why we're making sure more kids in Saskatchewan get healthy meals at school. Filling their bellies with nutritious food will set them up for success. It also helps parents save hundreds on groceries. It's a game changer for everyone."

"We recognize that basic nutrition at school contributes to positive student outcomes including improved academic work, initiative, class participation and problem solving," Education Minister Everett Hindley said. "This funding will make a difference and allow us to continue to support the wellbeing of children and families who need it most across our growing province."

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.
