School Foods Program expands to include monthly grocery supplement 

Beginning this month, Inuvialuit Regional Corporation’s School Foods program will include a $500 monthly in-store credit at Stanton, Co-Op and NorthMart. Funded by the federal government, under the new program, monthly nutritional support is available for families from December 2024 until June 2025.  

To be eligible, recipients must be aged 0-18 years, attend an ISR school or licensed daycare and be registered under the Inuvialuit Final Agreement (IFA). Applications must be submitted by the first Friday of the month (e.g. December 6, January 3) to receive that month’s credit. Otherwise, the child will be enrolled beginning the following month.  

The School Foods program is in its third year providing healthy meals during the school year to over 1,000 students in the seven schools in the ISR. One of the unexpected benefits of the program has been an increase in overall attendance for students who participate in the program.  

The grocery supplement application form can be completed online at forms.inuvialuit.com/food-program. Applicants will receive a confirmation email that their application has been received and can expect to be contacted within 4 business days after the form has been submitted.
