Looking for an engaging way to teach your students about food insecurity and poverty?
As part of CBC’s annual holiday campaign, Make the Season Kind, Daily Bread Food Bank, Feed Ontario, and food banks across the province have partnered with the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario to launch the CBC School Challenge, which invites classrooms to explore how food insecurity affects your community.
The Challenge is open to all publicly funded elementary schools across Ontario.
The 2024 CBC School Challenge is now closed.
Thanks to all of the classrooms that registered. We look forward to announcing nine outstanding submissions on January 20, 2025.
We are grateful to the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario for their partnership and collaboration in preparing resources for the Challenge.
