Home » Wellbeing Strategic Framework

At UBC, we prioritize providing delicious, wholesome, and affordable healthy food options, and safe tap water to drink. Food served on campus is nutritious and diverse, and it reflects the university’s goals to reduce waste. Labels indicate ingredients, source, certifications, and nutrition facts. At our dining halls, restaurants, and events, we celebrate diverse cultures and locally grown ingredients.
