Summary
Quebecers are rallying behind free, nutritious school lunches — with 88% saying it’s essential the government guarantees every child gets one, and 72% urging political parties to make it a top election issue. Even adults without kids in school support a sliding-scale payment model already used successfully by La Cantine pour tous. The push spans all demographics, fueled by rising food insecurity affecting 28% of Quebec’s kids in 2023. La Cantine pour tous is calling on parties to pledge funding to expand meals to 890 disadvantaged schools within five years — seeing it as a vital investment in the next generation.
