We’re proud to have a number of sustainability initiatives. By integrating these practices into our daily operations, we’re able to minimize our environmental impact.
A joint initiative with the Office of Sustainability Green to Go cuts down campus waste by giving students, staff and faculty the option of getting their food in a reusable, plastic container – instead of the typical compostable takeout container.
Here’s how it works:
Help keep paper cups out of the trash by bringing your own reusable, travel mug instead of getting your beverage in a disposable cup.
When you use your own mug, you’ll also get a $0.10 – $0.25 discount – but the real prize is knowing you’re helping contribute to a more sustainable campus.
We’re proud to be one of just 32 Fairtrade Campuses in Canada. We’re committed to carrying products with ingredients produced by small-scale farms or plantations that meet Fairtrade social, economic and environmental standards.
Our seafood is wild-caught and sourced from fisheries that are certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and committed to harvesting at a rate that ensures enough fish are left in the ocean and respecting aquatic habitats.
We’re proud to be a member of the National Farm Animal Care Council (NFACC), the national lead for codes of practice development and farm animal care in Canada.
