Breakfast Club of Canada and Danone Canada Celebrate 30 Years of Collaboration
Boucherville (QC), March 4, 2026 — Breakfast Club of Canada proudly celebrates 30 years of partnership with Danone Canada, a long-standing partner that has helped expand access to nutritious school breakfasts for children across Canada.
Since 1996, Danone Canada has played a meaningful role in helping the Club evolve and strengthen its approach to school nutrition programs nationwide. Through sustained financial support, the donation of more than 30 million cups of yogurt – including 2.5 million in 2025 alone – and dedicated volunteer employee engagement, Danone Canada has contributed to creating breakfast programs that are consistent, inclusive and thoughtfully designed to meet the realities of each school community.
“Thirty years of partnership represents more than longevity – it reflects a shared commitment to doing things well and with care,” said Judith Barry, Co-founder and Government Relations Director at Breakfast Club of Canada. “Danone Canada’s sustained support has helped us not only grow, but continuously strengthen the quality of our programs across the country. By raising awareness of our mission and the importance of school breakfast programs, they have helped ensure that children can count on a consistent, nutritious start to their day in an environment where they feel valued and supported.”
Throughout the years, Danone Canada’s support has enabled the launch of 17 new breakfast programs in Indigenous communities, reaching close to 3,500 children each school morning. Developed in collaboration with local partners, these programs are grounded in community needs and focused on creating positive morning experiences that support children’s well-being and readiness to learn. “Danone’s mission to bring health through food to as many people as possible naturally reinforces our commitment to ensuring children across Canada have access to nutritious foods and the knowledge to build healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime,” said Frédéric Guichard, President at Danone Canada. “We are proud to support Breakfast Club of Canada with the food we make because we share the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to achieve their full potential, and that starts with a nutritious breakfast every day.”
As the Club looks to the future, partnerships like this one remain essential to maintaining high standards, deepening impact and ensuring school breakfast programs continue to be spaces where children can thrive.
Together, Breakfast Club of Canada and Danone Canada remain committed to building on this legacy, focusing on quality, care and lasting impact for the children, schools and communities they serve.
