Yukon Non-Profit Takes Federal Government to Court Over Cut Funding for Meals Program for Indigenous Kids

A Yukon non-profit is challenging the federal government in court over cut funding for a meals program that provided healthy food to hundreds of First Nations children in rural areas. The program was shut down due to the funding cut, leaving these vulnerable children without support and facing real and lasting harm. The non-profit is seeking a timely ruling to force a decision, as the department blames a rise in demand for services and promises a decision by June 2026. This case highlights ongoing struggles to support remote Indigenous communities.
