As part of the celebration, the winning classes will be treated to a pizza lunch, generously sponsored by Pizza Pizza. Feedback from participating schools was overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the value of this project in fostering a greater sense of empathy and community engagement among students. 

The CBC School Challenge was a key component of CBC’s Make the Season Kind campaign, which raised an incredible $7.8 million for food banks across Canada.
