Brown Bagging for Calgary's Kids - Lunches During School Strike or Lockout 

If a school strike or lockout occurs, resulting in the closure of all or some of the schools accessing the Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids (BB4CK) School Lunch program, we are committed to continuing to provide lunches to kids who need them via a lunch-pickup model at designated sites in Calgary.


As this is an evolving situation, we will be keeping this webpage updated with further details and with the locations at which your family will be able to access BB4CK lunches. https://bb4ck.org/strike-response/  

Thank you
