About Us

At our university, the dining plan isn't just about meals; it's about creating an inclusive and efficient dining experience for our students. Behind the scenes, we're dedicated to aligning our dining plan values with key principles and data-driven insights to best serve our community.

One of the cornerstones of our approach is the use of CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) base dollar value and consumption level data. By leveraging this information, we're able to offer a GST exemption at our dining outlets, making meals more affordable for students. This not only eases the financial burden but also fosters a sense of accessibility and equity within our dining program.

Additionally, sticking to CRA rules and guidelines is really important for how we plan our dining system. We look at how students use groceries and eat to make sure we're following the rules and meeting everyone's needs. This careful attention shows that we're serious about being open and responsible in everything we do when it comes to dining.

When we figure out how much money you get for meals and adjust for how prices change, we use info from how people ate before. This helps us find the right balance so you have enough money for meals and snacks without worrying. Our aim is to keep improving the dining plan to match what you want and what's happening with money. We want it to be a helpful thing for everyone at the university.

Ultimately, our university dining plan is more than just a financial transaction; it's a reflection of our commitment to student well-being, sustainability, and inclusivity. We take pride in the diligence and care with which we set our dining plan values, working tirelessly to uphold the principles of affordability, accessibility, and quality for all who call our campus home.
