Throughout 2022, Farm to Cafeteria Canada, in partnership with the Coalition for Healthy School Food, has been working to revise its School Food Map.

The new School Food Map will:

make it easier for folks to get on the map and keep their profile up to date
make it so that community partners that provide services to schools (including local food providers) can get on the map
include more information about the services offered by community partners and the activities of schools (e.g. food literacy activities, local food purchased, meals served)
incorporate more advanced filtering and sorting capabilities (by region, activity, etc.) so as to be an information and networking tool
recognize the Indigenous lands where programs and activities take place

Fittingly for the Farm to School Month theme of #FoodConnects, this new tool will help connect schools and community partners across the country!

If you’re a school, getting on the map will let you:

Share/celebrate your school’s efforts
Help other schools connect with you
Contribute to the national data of school food activity in Canada that will help inform program and policy development

If you’re a community partner, getting on the map will let you:

Communicate what you can offer to schools and other partners working in this area
Find schools to connect and share your services with
Contribute to the national data of school food activity in Canada that will help inform program and policy development
