FOOD AT UBC VANCOUVER

Our Vision and Values

Our Vision: To enable and inspire a lifetime of healthy eating.

Our Values: We strive to bring our Food Values to life in all aspects of our operations. Here are just a few of the ways we do that everyday:

Wholesome

Wholesome food is a priority because our guests, our food and our wellbeing matters. We strive to prepare as many menu items in-house as possible, using fresh, nutritious ingredients.

Sustainable

We aim to compost all food scraps and reduce single-use items. Our menus feature an abundance of climate-friendly options and sustainable, Ocean Wise seafood.

Local Food

UBC Food Services defines local food to be food that is grown, raised, caught, or processed within the province of British Columbia. We prioritize small scale, BC-owned food businesses as close to UBC as possible.

Diverse

Our globally inspired menus strive to reflect the diversity of the UBC community. They feature halal certified meats, a variety of vegan and vegetarian dishes and fair trade coffee and tea.

How You Can Help

BYOC

UBC aspires to be a Zero Waste campus where as many single-use coffee cups, plastic straws, bags and cutlery are kept out of landfills and the environment as possible. Bring your own reusable cup to save 25¢ off hot beverages on campus.

Sort It Out

As part of the Zero Waste Action Plan, unwanted items are treated as reusable resources. You can make a difference by using Sort it Out stations to sort food scraps and recyclables.

Choose Climate-Friendly Foods

Meat production and food transportation are major contributors to climate change. Consider plant-based meals, eat local when possible and keep food waste to a minimum.
