Canada has officially launched its National School Food Program, a landmark initiative designed to provide nutritious meals to students across the country.
加拿大已正式啟動「全國學校供餐計畫」，這項具有里程碑意義的舉措，旨在為全國學生提供營養餐點。
Before this program, Canada stood alone among G7 nations as the only country without a federal school food strategy.
在此之前，加拿大是七大工業國集團（G7）中，唯一缺乏聯邦層級學校供餐策略的國家。
By collaborating with all 13 provinces and territories, the federal government aims to feed an additional 400,000 children every year.
聯邦政府透過與全加13個省與領地合作，目標是每年額外為40萬名兒童提供餐點。
The initiative does more than just serve meals; it addresses food insecurity, enhances classroom concentration, and offers significant financial relief, potentially saving families with two children up to $800 annually on groceries.
此項舉措的功效不止於供餐；它針對食物短缺問題，提升學生課堂專注度，並減輕家庭的經濟壓力，預計每戶有兩名子女的家庭，每年可節省高達800加元的買菜開銷。
Beyond food, the program invests in infrastructure like kitchen equipment and supports culturally appropriate, Indigenous-led meal solutions.
除餐點外，該計畫亦投資於廚房設備等基礎設施建設，並支援符合文化習俗且由原住民主導的餐點解決方案。
As part of a broader strategy including dental care and affordable child care, the National School Food Program is a vital step toward reducing the cost of living and ensuring every child has the fuel they need to succeed.
作為包括牙科保健與可負擔幼兒保育在內之廣泛策略的一環，「全國學校供餐計畫」是減輕生活成本並確保每位兒童皆能獲得成功所需能量的至關重要一步。
