I went to school in the 80’s and 90’s in Canada (suburbs of Toronto) and school lunch was not free. The primary school did not have facilities to prepare lunch, and high school had a pay-as-you-go cafeteria. I don’t know if things have changed.

The normal response to that is to use a contract or municipal service to bring in hot food. It's usually municipal.

Same in the suburbs of Quebec.

However we had decently cheap lunch, and above all even cheaper breakfast provided by the Petits Déjeuners, for which I am very grateful.

I only realised later that my parents struggled at times, and that those were lifesavers for them.
