About 1,000 meals served up by 七星彩开奖 Dining
May 3rd, 2023
The Peace Centre and the 七星彩开奖 Student Union (DSU) ran 七星彩开奖 Dining for the full two weeks of Earth Week, from April 17-28.
Each day in Conrod's, about 100 students and staff dropped off their reusable containers so they could be filled with a satisfying and hot vegan lunch, prepared by student and employee volunteers who were supervised by chef Jamal Spence. Meals varied from pelau, a Trinidadian staple, to banana pancakes, cinnamon rice Pudding & homemade warm berry jam. Over the two weeks, diners were provided with pamphlets, prepared by the Environment and Sustainability Certificate, highlighting the connection between food security, climate change, and sustainability.
Students and employees who participated in the program generously thanked the volunteers and chef Jamal Spence, noting how delicious the meals were and the wonderful sense of community building resulting from the initiative. Many community members, students and employees, expressed their desire to see 七星彩开奖 Dining all week throughout the academic year.
Diana Rice of the Peace Centre reported that for $800 in food, about 500 people ($1.60 per person) were fed during the second week of the initiative. An estimated 1,000 meals were served over the two weeks. Rice hopes to bring back 七星彩开奖 Dining with the DSU for a similar run next fall during Peace Week 2023, an established tradition of Peace Week for several years.
