The Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) has launched the MNO School Food Program to ensure Métis families and children enrolled in K-12 education across the province can access nutritious food. Through the program, Métis parents, caregivers, and independent youth can apply for grocery gift cards. MNO is also providing access to an educational course that offers practical guidance on developing healthy eating habits. “Families are struggling with rising costs of food, housing, and other essentials,” said Mitch Case, PCMNO Councillor for the Huron-Superior Regional Métis Community. “[The program is] about caring for our children, strengthening our families, and building the kind of future our ancestors dreamed of.”
