Students in grades K to 5 who eat 5 or more servings of vegetables or fruit the day before the survey, as reported by a parent or guardian

This indicator adds the responses to the following 2 individual questions: 'Yesterday, how many times do you think your child consumed fruits, including fresh, cooked, frozen, canned or dried fruits? (Do not count: fruit juice, fruit roll-ups or other fruit flavoured candies.)' and 'Yesterday, how many times do you think your child consumed vegetables, including fresh, cooked, frozen, or canned vegetables?'. The response options for these 2 individual questions are: none, 1 time, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, 6 times, 7 times or more and I do not know. This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who have a total of '5 times or more' by the number of respondents who answered at least 1 of the 2 individual questions.

Due to the very low response rate for the 2023-2024 parent questionnaire, survey results are deemed to be not representative of the overall student and parent population. Therefore, results at the school, district, sector, and provincial levels are not to be used for planning or comparing to previous editions of the survey. Some schools will not receive their K to 5 results due to the extremely low number of parents who responded.
