Fruit and Vegetable Program - D'anjou Pears!


This week ahead the students will receive another delivery from the
 BC School Fruit and Vegetable Nutritional Program.


  • B.C. orchards produce all of the D'Anjou pears grown commercially in Canada
  • D'Anjou are the only variety of pear that can be stored through the winter
  • Pears' skin colour ranges from green and light yellow to red and brown.
  • If you pull on the stem and it comes out easily, the pear is ripe.

  • For further information, check out the scoop and double scoop on pears.
    This snack is not meant to replace the foods students normally eat at school. Students can make their own decisions on whether to taste the fruits offered.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the PAC or the school administration at 604-713-4620.
