Canada is the only country in the G7 that doesn't have a national school food program. Researchers say that as high inflation affects food prices, more children need access to these programs β€” but community groups say they need stable funding from the federal government to keep everyone fed.

Did you ask the Calgary education board what their programs are? The provincial one is just one default program, if you read further you'll find other programs supported by municipality/city/provincial funding.

I'm not against having federal standards and/or funding, but it's not like there aren't any programs.
