Several schools will see a delay of the provincial hot lunch program, which was expected to roll out on Tuesday for all schools.
Education Minister Claire Johnson could not say how many or what schools were affected by the delay. She said a list would be provided by the Department of Education, but one has not yet been sent.
“We can absolutely ensure we are working on that list,” Johnson said. “I can ask for a little bit of patience because … it’s an evolving thing. These are changing almost daily because we’re dealing with this live because we’re rolling out a program for next week.”
