Child Nutrition
Breakfast Clubs – Breakfast Clubs are still currently being run by the individual schools.
BGC Thunder Bay was the first Agency to deliver a hot breakfast program in the schools. We have consistently been delivering breakfast since 1991 in the City of Thunder Bay. We believe that with the proper nutrition, students can better meet their educational goals.
All Breakfast Clubs run 5 days per week from mid-September to the middle of June
| St Ann School | Claude Garton School |
| St Jude School | Algonquin School |
| St Elizabeth School | Vance Chapman School |
| Corpus Christi School | St Pius X School |
All schools are currently doing a grab & go in the classrooms during the Coivd-19 Pandemic.
When our Breakfast Programs open up again
Any child that belongs to the school can attend Breakfast Club.
The Breakfast Club is in cooperation with and sponsored by many valued partners. Thank you to United Way, Breakfast
Clubs of Canada, Red Cross Student Nutrition Program and President’s Choice Children’s Charity for funding the Breakfast
Programs!
