About CommunityLINK

CommunityLINK (Learning Includes Nutrition and Knowledge) provides funding to all 60 school boards to support vulnerable students in academic achievement and social functioning.

The funding helps districts provide services such as breakfast and lunch programs, inner city school programs, after-school care, school-based support workers, community school programs and counselling for at-risk children and youth.

	In May 2004 the government increased CommunityLINK funding by over $10 million dollars to $45.4 million. (news release).
	New CommunityLINK policy took effect July 1, 2006. It replaces the 28-page district contracts used previously, and includes a new reporting template ( Word - 151kb) which the ministry developed with the CommunityLINK District Advisory Group.
