Eggs for all

St. Vital

Manitoba Egg Farmers are helping ensure that students in Manitoba schools have access to nutritious food.

On Feb. 19, representatives of Manitoba Egg Farmers and the Child Nutrition Council of Manitoba visited Lavallee School (505 St. Anne’s Rd.) to help cook breakfast sandwiches and provide information on eggs and egg farming.

“Eggs are an affordable, easy-to-prepare source of high-quality protein that helps fuel a full day of learning,” Sandra Dyck, a Manitoba Egg Farmers director, said in a statement. “We’re grateful for the opportunity to support such an impactful program – because when students are well-nourished, they’re empowered to learn, create and grow.”

Manitoba Egg Farmers also announced a donation of 10,000 coupons for a free dozen eggs to be provided to schools across the province through the Child Nutrition Council.
