City councillors unanimously approved a motion Wednesday to re-instate funding for the Vancouver School Board to provide meals to students in need. The motion, put forward by councillors Rebecca Bligh and Pete Fry, brings back $325,000 in annual support for the school meal program, until the VSB can secure alternative funding. The city previously announced it would reduce the funding to $162,500 due to budget pressures, and because of additional support coming from the B.C. government.

Schools in Surrey will have fewer education assistants as the district will be cutting approximately 50 positions. The decision was announced at the public school board meeting earlier this month as the district grapples with a $16 million budget shortfall. Claudia Chiesa, a parent in the district, has a 14-year-old son with autism. The news is devastating for her. “That’s crazy because – just as it is – it’s really hard for not just the parents, but for the kids”, explains Chiesa.
