More than a place to eat
Our dining halls are more than just a place to eat—they’re vibrant community hubs filled with engaging events and celebrations all year round. Here’s what students can look forward to:
Theme parties
Every month, we host a themed party in a dining hall, complete with decorations, music, and food to match the celebration. Students are encouraged to dress up and join the fun!
Chef’s pop-ups
These special events give our culinary team a chance to connect with students by showcasing dishes close to their hearts—from innovative creations to comforting home recipes.
Tiger’s choice
Students can submit their favourite recipes, and selected dishes will be featured in the dining hall for everyone to enjoy.
Dietitian pop-ups
Our registered dietitian hosts regular events to promote health and wellness, including our popular “Exam Cram” DIY trail mix stations during exam season.
Sustainability events
In partnership with Dalhousie’s Office of Sustainability, we host events that help students learn about Fairtrade, food waste, recycling, and more—making sustainability part of everyday life.
Food celebrations
From Potato Chip Day to National Chocolate Cake Day, we celebrate all things delicious to make dining hall experiences extra fun and memorable.
Special dietary needs
We are committed to ensuring all students, faculty, and staff have a positive and safe dining experience in our dining halls. This means rigorous food labelling for common allergens and dietary preferences, as well as procedures to prevent cross-contamination.
Variety, value, and convenience
Meal plans aren’t just for residents!
Off-campus meal plans allow students living off campus to enjoy the same delicious and nutritious options and skip the grocery shopping and cooking.
