Our History
Founded in 1994 by Daniel Germain, the Club des petits déjeuners du Québec established the first school nutrition program at the Lionel-Groulx school (Longueuil, Quebec). To reach children across the country, Breakfast Clubs of Canada was launched in 2006 and the two organizations merged to become Breakfast Club of Canada/Club des petits déjeuners in 2014.
An initiative that started by serving breakfast to hundreds of children in one school now helps reach hundreds of thousands of children in every province and territory across the country.
The Club continues to grow and establish more and more ambitious objectives each year due to the dedication of not only the school teams, volunteers, donors, community and corporate partners and governments but also the staff members, management committee and board of directors who show up every day ready to make a difference in children’s lives.

Breakfast Club of Canada turned 30 on November 1!
We are celebrating 30 years of goals accomplished, obstacles overcome and communities united, none of which would be possible without the hard work and dedication of many people across Canada. Over the past three decades, we have had a positive impact on hundreds of thousands of young lives as we have worked toward our vision of a country where all children can access nutritious food at school.
2023-2026 Strategic Plan
Over the past year, Breakfast Club of Canada completed a strategic planning process spanning the 2023–2026 period. This is a significant milestone for the Club, helping continue its growth and achieve its long-term objectives.
This process, led by our management team with the participation of employees across Canada, resulted in stimulating discussions and interactions. The goal was to define a clear direction for the Club and establish strategic priorities for the coming years to move our mission forward.
