Heads up, #InstitutionalFood and #SchoolFood researchers! Can a breakfast be secular? Does lunch have a religion? If you serve halal or kosher food to someone without their knowing it’s halal or kosher, is it? Here’s to injecting a little critical food studies knowledge into our houses of government… Take a look at these two articles on CBC.com and weigh in with your thoughts!

“New secularism bill to ban prayer in schools, restrict offering of religion-based meals” (Nov. 24, 2025): https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/bill-21-expansion-quebec-9.6990951

“Quebec's new secularism bill targets daycare workers, prayer spaces and religious meals” (Nov. 27, 2025): https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-secularism-bill-9.6993278

📢 Big step for school nutrition! All provinces & territories have now signed on to the #NationalSchoolFoodProgram. I doubled the funding for student nutrition while I was a School Trustee, and proud that the @ndp.ca fought so hard for a Federal program! 🍎 🏫 #topoli #onpoli #cdnpoli

The latest #FoodEpi report provides priority actions to create healthier food environments for Canadians. This includes a #NationalSchoolFoodProgram, something I have and others have long advocated for. Great work, designed to address diet-related disease 👏 #FoodMatters #HealthPromotion Available from: https://informascanada.com/fileadmin/Fichiers/Default/PDF-Food-EPI2023/FoodEPI_Report-2023-FEDERAL-FINAL-Web.pdf
