Event Recaps – February & March

February and March were busy with events featuring creative menus and locally sourced products in our dining halls. Here are the highlights!

Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Feature Event – Mar. 2

We kicked off an event filled month with our MSC feature event at Howe Hall for lunch and Shirreff Hall for dinner. We featured the local and sustainable Haddock from Pubnico, NS (fished off the Georges Banks!) in a Rainbow Bowl with a Creamy Green Dressing cooked and served by Executive Chef Joe. Must we say it was a hit? Students couldn’t get enough and opted for seconds… even thirds… of this delicious MSC friendly dish.

If you are not up to speed on what MSC is, read our Love Your Ocean blog post from last month!

Dietitians Day – Dessert Pop-Up Station – Mar. 17

March is Nutrition month and this month’s theme is “Good for YOU! Dietitians Help You Find Your Healthy”. For Dietitians Day our dietitian, Rai-Lee, and her dietetic interns, Andrea and Heather, prepared three desserts, delivered nutrition fun facts, and passed on the message that an important part of healthy eating is enjoying the foods you eat and drink – all foods fit, even dessert! They made a local wild blueberry crumble, orange chocolate chia seed pudding, and a lemony ginger milk-tea – all with a healthy twist.
