Happy World Space Week! Did you know one of the first meals in space included a toothpaste tube of pureed meat? We've come a long way since then! https://t.co/nwUNjGlAlB

Amid COVID-19 concerns, we will be CLOSED this coming Monday, March 16th to prepare our strategy going forward.

We want to ensure that we enact measures that limit the spread of COVID-19 so that folks who are vulnerable will not contract this illness.

Watch for further updates!

Hi folks! Thank you so much for your support so far this semester. We'd love for you to support us again with these events next week, as we come into the holiday season and look to give our visitors a healthy pantry going into the new year. See you in the UC!

This is an excellent description of what food insecurity looks like for many students! International/graduate students face even higher tuition and fees. This may be part of why they represent a larger proportion of our visitors.

[No Hungry Students @mealexchange]

Nearly 2 in 5 post-secondary students experience food insecurity. Thank you to Naja & Hansel for sharing your stories in this powerful video-let's elevate this issue this election season & beyond-it's not too late to talk to your candidates!

In Canada, 1 in 6 children don't have enough to eat, affecting their ability to learn. A national school food program would ensure that no child learns on an empty stomach. Let’s get talking and #eatthinkvote! @C4HSchoolFood #cdnpoli https://t.co/BEY00XZFJM
