Field Partners
Breakfast Clubs of Canada works closely with its partners across Canada to feed children a nutritious breakfast at school. Our partners provide support for our cause in a variety of ways. Sometimes it’s by giving us food for the children’s breakfast. Sometimes the actual schools and school boards where we have our programs become our partners. Sometimes our partners are like-minded organizations who work with schools to provide breakfast to kids. We appreciate the work and the commitment of all of our partners.
National Field Program Partners
Breakfast for Learning: Breakfast for Learning helps empower communities to start and sustain child nutrition programs to enhance learning and healthy development of children and youth.
Club des petits déjeuners du Québec: Every morning, throughout Quebec, the Breakfast Club brings 15,000 children two essential elements to start their school day on the right foot: a nutritious breakfast and a nourishing environment.
First Nations of Canada
For the last two years we have been reaching out to work with leaders in First Nations communities to set up school breakfast programs. In some of these communities the school dropout rate can reach up to 98 per cent and one quarter of families live in poverty.
It is our hope that through our school breakfast programs more First Nations children we will help break the cycle of poverty and provide a brighter future for them.
In the spring of 2009, Breakfast Clubs of Canada was also deeply honoured to sign a statement of cooperation with the Assembly of First Nations former National Chief Phil Fontaine.
The statement of cooperation allows Breakfast Clubs of Canada to work in partnership with First Nations communities by adapting our breakfast program standards to local requirements.
We are currently helping 2,500 children in 8 communities in the following areas:
Manitoba: St. Theresa
Point
Garden Hill
Red Sucker
Wassagamack
Poplar River
Ontario: Pawitik (Whitefish Bay)
Shoal Lake 40
Shoal Lake 39
Our objective is to set-up breakfast programs in 10 aboriginal communities by the end of 2010 and reach more than 12,000 aboriginal children by the end of 2013.
