The BC School Fruit and Vegetable Nutrition Program is a province-wide program that is aimed at improving children’s health. 

Ecole Phoenix Middle School’s 650 students have been the recipients of B.C.-grown vegetables and fruits for the past two years, with delivery of a healthy fruit or vegetable serving to our students approximately twice a month. This is a program by ActNow BC which is administered through the BC Agriculture in the Classroom foundation, a non-profit association dedicated to working with educators to bring BC’s agriculture to students.
