Celebrating 25 Years!
Kickoff of Breakfast Club of Canada’s 25th anniversary year
- 40 million breakfasts served
- 1,809 breakfast programs currently running
- 243,000 children eating breakfast every morning
These are just a few numbers to give you a better idea of what the Club has accomplished over the past quarter of a century.
But rest assured there’s no chance of president and founder Daniel Germain and co-founder Judith Barry resting on their laurels. They’re determined to make sure EVERY child in Canada has access to a healthy morning meal, every single day. That works out to over a million students covered by a national meal program – something every G7 country except Canada already has.
On November 5, Daniel and Judith travelled to Lionel-Groulx School in Longueuil, Quebec – where the whole adventure first began 25 years ago – to commemorate this milestone and stress their commitment to doing even more in the future. Another 100 or so staff members followed their lead, lending a helping hand at breakfast programs across the country.

We also held a brunch event in Boucherville, Quebec, near our head office, where partners, volunteers and employees came to celebrate 25 years of wonderful memories and noteworthy achievements.
