The rising cost of living and food insecurity continue to affect Métis families across Alberta, particularly in rural and northern communities. Many families have expressed challenges in affording nutritious meals and snacks that reflect Métis culture and traditional foods.
To help address these barriers, the Otipemisiwak Métis Government is launching the School Food Subsidy, designed to improve access to nutritious, culturally meaningful food options for Métis students attending K–12 schools in Alberta.
The School Food Subsidy will contain:
• One $400 Gift Card per child between 4–18 years old who are currently enrolled in K–12 Education.
The eligibility criteria per child for this program is as follows:
• Métis Child(ren) must be enrolled in K–12 Education and be between ages 4–18.
• The Child(ren) must be Otipemisiwak Métis Government Citizens
• Youth over 16 years old, enrolled in K–12 Education, may either be included in family applications or can apply on their own if they live independently. In all cases, youth over 16 must be Otipemisiwak Métis Government Citizens.
• Applicants must permanently reside in Alberta
