Mission and Vision of Organization

Breakfast Club of Canada is a Canada-wide non-profit that has worked for the last 23 years to provide nutritious breakfasts to students before class each morning. Our mission is to ensure that all students have access to a healthy breakfast in a safe, supportive environment so that they can do their best in school. Today, we support over 1,600 schools across Canada, serving breakfast to over 200,000 students each morning.

We work to promote the core values of engagement, enrichment and empowerment, and we team up with communities and local partners to develop solutions adapted to their specific needs

Project Information

Project Description

Students will work to research, develop, and deploy three 1-1.5 minute videos aimed at educating breakfast coordinators about nutrition. The concept of these videos are to be determined by the students with guidance from the BCC nutrition team. Video ideas include highlighting several low-budget healthy recipe ideas, targeting special food groups, etc.

Project Goal

The goal of this project is to develop three informative, fun videos that school breakfast coordinators can use as inspiration to serve healthy breakfasts to students, while maintaining a strict budget, reducing waste etc. The videos will provide nutritional information, and be tailored toward easy-to-prepare (or store) meals that can be made for large groups of students. The group’s challenge will be creating videos that are concise (one minute and a half or less), yet adequately convey the group’s key messages. The production of these videos will support the Club’s goal to encourage healthy eating habits and food literacy in our partners and the students we serve.

Expected Outcomes

Learning Outcomes

  • I hope students will learn about school meal programs, children and youth nutrition, and further develop their filming and editing skills.
  • I think students will come to appreciate working creatively as a group within budgetary and time constraints to produce a useful resource for schools.
  • Through this project, students will develop an understanding of the work that goes into building a targeted tool to meet the specific needs of a vulnerable population.

Organizational Outcomes

The videos will be an additional tool to support nutrition for our programs

More broadly, this project advances our organization’s goals by equipping the coordinators at the schools we support with resources to improve their knowledge of nutrition, which in turn, they can pass on to their students via healthier breakfast options.
