End of Term Wrap-Up – Thank you!
First and foremost, our team wants to thank you for working with us towards maintaining a safe and positive environment in the dining halls during these difficult times.
Here is a recap of some of the delicious food we served up and fun dining hall events and station pop-ups that occurred throughout the year! We couldn’t have done it without you, and we have had a blast engaging with each and every one of you!
Hydration for Summer
The warm summer months are approaching, and we want to send you off with some important and easy hydration tips to keep your thirst quenched and hydration needs satisfied!
Practicing Mindful Eating
March is Nutrition Month and this year’s theme is “Good for YOU! Dietitians Help You Find Your Healthy”. The focus is for dietitians to help you find your healthy as healthy eating looks different for everyone.
Therefore, there is no better time to chat about mindful eating! If you are new to the concept, we will explore what mindful eating is, tips for implementing mindfulness, and the benefits. In fact, Canada’s food guide suggests practicing mindful eating habits as an essential component to maintaining a balanced lifestyle since healthy eating is more than the foods you eat.

Love Your Ocean
In honour of the month of love, show your ocean and wildlife some care by looking out for the Sustainable Fish label on our menus in the dining hall!
