Food costs platforms

Here's what the 2025 Newfoundland & Labrador election parties are promising.

Liberal

  • Expand the school lunch programme to cover all NL Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 9 students

    "A re-elected Liberal government will further expand the school lunch program to cover all Newfoundland and Labrador Pre-Kindergarden to Grade 9 students under this program by the end of the 2026-2027 school year." — nlliberals.ca, retrieved 2025-10-02

  • Increase funding for community food projects that improve food access for lower-income NLers by $250K

    "Under our Liberal Government’s Poverty Reduction Plan, more than $41 million has already been directed to improving well-being and food security for our Province’s most vulnerable. This includes more than $1 million to Food First NL and other charities and organizations to support community food projects that improve food access for lower-income Newfoundlanders and Labradorians. Our government will increase funding to these organizations by $250,000." — nlliberals.ca, retrieved 2025-10-03

PC

  • Expand school meals for K-12 students

    "Expand school meals for K–12 students. Kids can’t learn when they’re hungry—yet nearly 40% of children in our province live in food-insecure households." — For All of Us, retrieved 2025-10-08

We don't have any NDP policies on Food costs.
