Inclusive Dietary
Practices
Students come from a variety of backgrounds, cultures, and religious
affiliations; therefore, it is crucial that the breakfast club honours this reality
for all students. Being aware of the school’s cultural demographics will help
you create an inclusive menu which respects each student’s dietary needs.
Creating an inclusive breakfast space requires consideration of the unique
nature of food preferences, sensitivities and religious dietary practices.
Support can be found in this area through Breakfast Club of Canada, your
local public health unit, cultural organizations in the community, and the
school administration, who may be better able to provide guidance as to the
particular demographics of each school.

IDEAS
Post the weekly menu on a Breakfast
Club of Canada menu planner and
hang it in a visible location for
students to see what food is being
offered. Advertise the menu in the
school newsletter so parents are
aware. Consider serving some food
items on the same day each week/
month to establish a routine that
students will look forward to. For
example: Smoothie Fridays, Egg
Muffin Mondays, etc.
