Thank you for taking part in the Great Big Crunch throughout March and for showing your support for healthy school food!

On March 9th, over 5,000 participants, including many students and teachers joined politicians and supporters from across Canada for the virtual #GreatBigCrunch where we bit into an apple or other crunchy fruit or vegetable alongside Federal Minister of Families, Children and Social Development Karina Gould in support of healthy school food.

Throughout the rest of March more than 150,000 people across the country took the Crunch, up from 59,000 last year.

Thank you for this success!
