Why does COPE fight for meal programs for kids?

Here's one reason.

This study found that school meal programs not only helped kids in poverty to get the nutrition they need, bu also *lowered prices at grocery stores for everyone.*

Great to see cuts to City’s grant for school meal programs reversed by unanimous vote.

Now bring back Renters Office, restore library hours, end the supportive housing ban, become a Living Wage employer again, and invest in desperately-needed social infrastructure.

We are in full support of the motion being brought by Councillor Fry and Councillor Bligh, to restore school food program funding for the coming year. Thank you to IUOE Local 963 for their continuous advocacy on this important issue!

MEDIA RELEASE
Suzie Mah cast the lone opposition vote tonight as the ABC-led School Board voted for a Financial Plan that fails to meet the needs of students and reflect extensive feedback from parents, students, and other stakeholders. https://t.co/qSqE8Ulj0N #bced #vanpoli

VSB chair @victoriajungvan has stated that taking photos is no longer allowed during public meetings at the @VSB39. When was this decided?

[Steve Cardwell (he/him) @myphronesis]

Majority of the @VSB39 board said “No” to supporting 11 priority motions proposed by @OneCityVan @reddyforchange and @COPEVancouver Suzie Mah. Sadly, students and the classroom do not come first. #bced #bcpoli
