BREAKFAST CLUB OF CANADA
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: A
BRAINSTORMING JOURNEY
ESSENTIAL SUPPORT TO EXPAND
THE REACH OF BREAKFAST PROGRAMS
At the dawn of a new phase of its growth, the Club
is now more than ever aware of the ecological and
social context in which it operates. The inevitable
question we’re trying to answer is the following:
“How can the Club become an even greater force
for socio-ecological transition to achieve its vision
of a country where all children have access to
nutritious food at school?”
We would like to thank our government and Indigenous
partners. Their support is crucial to expand the scope
of our action with students. By these partnerships, they
demonstrate their commitment to education and wellbeing of young people, contributing thus to build a
more just and prosperous society.
Accordingly, it was with great enthusiasm that we
embarked on a brainstorming journey to take a critical
look at how we operate and to challenge our beliefs.
This six-phase process will ultimately enable us to
identify what sustainable food practices we should
integrate into our activities, to support our continuous
improvement efforts.
During this journey, we are fortunate and
grateful for the support of Isabelle Marquis,
a professional nutrition, food marketing, and
communications specialist. As a firm believer that
the health of individuals is intimately linked to that
of our environment, Isabelle has been studying the
relationship between the two for several years. She
leverages her knowledge to engage with the agri-food
sector and inspire it to adopt best practices across
the board.
In the spring of 2023, inspiration meetings were held
with key players in the agri-food ecosystem and over
a hundred avenues for reflection emerged. We are
currently preparing a report on the lessons learned
from these meetings and the improvement areas that
should be prioritized.
