Fair Trade Coffee
Did you know that our coffee supplier Birch Bark Coffee is an organic, Fair Trade coffee that is SPP certified? Grown and produced by farmers that are Indigenous descendants!
Birch Bark Coffee Co. recognizes the need for a global Indigenous inclusion continuum. From the Indigenous farmers producing Birch Bark coffee beans to the customers supporting a cause-driven movement to the Indigenous families across Canada impacted by poor water conditions. An ongoing process of choice instills not just collective self-determination but also individual self-determination. It nurtures a journey for people to determine their own economic, social, and cultural improvement while ensuring their beans are ethically sourced.

Sustainability at York University
York’s food services partner is ensuring that Sustainability will be integral in meal planning, food sourcing, preparation, and waste reduction.
Water Bottle Free Campus
York University is committed to providing alternatives to the use of disposable water bottles.
We have been water bottle free since 2015 and have since installed 70 water refill stations across both the Keele and Glendon campuses, and retrofitted many existing public water fountains (which number over 200).
Nutrition Counselling for York U Residents
Nutrition is an essential component of both physical and mental well-being for university students. Its impact on academic success cannot be overstated. At York University, we are committed to promoting student health by offering individualized nutrition counselling with our Registered Dietitian to on-campus residents, and the best part is there are no extra costs for this service when you are on the Meal Plan program.
