Ms. Watt's Class

Did you know that in March 2025, there were nearly 2.2 million visits to food banks in Canada – the highest number in history? Food bank usage has doubled since March 2019 and is 5.2% higher than it was in 2024.
Nelson would like to make a local impact and bring awareness about this issue.
