The Yukon NDP has committed to food for every child in every Yukon school.
They plan to:
- Immediately partner with YFNED to restore the Rural Nutrition Program.
- Expand school food programs so every child in every school has access to healthy meals.
- Work case-by-case with schools and local leaders to ensure the right resources are in place, from school kitchen renovations to hiring local cooks and support staff or working with local businesses.
The Yukon Liberals have not made any statements about school food.
Their Party Platform is coming soon.
The Yukon Party has said they will conduct a comprehensive overhaul of the Department of Education so that students, educators, school boards, school councils, and parents can focus on student success.
Their Plan for Education does not include any mention of school food programming.
1. How will your party ensure all students in the Yukon — particularly those living in rural communities — have reliable access to nutritious school food programming?
2. What specific steps will your party take to provide consistent and sustainable funding for school food programs, especially in rural and remote communities that have lost federal support?
3. How will your party work in active partnership with Yukon First Nations, local producers, and community leaders to ensure local and culturally appropriate foods are being implemented in school food programs?
The election will take place on November 3, 2025. Learn more about how to vote at Elections Yukon. Every voice counts!
