Districts will be strongly encouraged to seek partnerships with the private sector or service clubs to complement the provincial funding and enhance program sustainability. This initiative will certainly promote a healthy and positive classroom environment, one in which the developmental pathway of an at-risk child is significantly enhanced. Guides and general information on nutrition will be distributed to schools.
Nutrition is also part of the health curriculum in New Brunswick schools.
