Nova Scotia School Lunch Program

The Nova Scotia School Lunch Program is a provincial lunch program that offers public school students across Nova Scotia nutritious lunch every school day. Ordering will open on Friday mornings and close on Wednesday at noon.

Only schools serving lunch on October 1st can order meals at this time. Please visit the Start Dates  to find out when your school’s rollout is!

Providing Affordable Lunch to Students Throughout Nova Scotia

There are 255 schools across the province in phase one of the Nova Scotia School Lunch Program. Families can order affordable lunches through an online pay-what-you-can system that lets them confidentially pay what they are able.

In future school years, the program will grow to include all public schools in the province.
