Mission
Mission statement: we’re here to support the UBC community.

The Food Service program aims to achieve its mission in several ways. They help fund UBC by using their profits to support students and the University’s academic mission, the Food Service program is 100% self-funded and receives no funding from UBC. They contribute to student life by sponsoring campus initiatives and student programs. The service also plans events on campus by partnering with departments and student groups. They also support learning by partnering with academic programs. The company pays its employees above standard wages as it recognizes that life in the Okanagan can be expensive and they provide part-time work on campus to over 20 students each year. They state that they are responsible and believe in the importance of having a positive impact on the communities they serve.

Furthermore, they acknowledge that UBCO Food Services and UBC Okanagan is located on the traditional and ancestral, and unceded territory of the Syilx Okanagan Nation. They thank the Syilx Nation for its hospitality and support of their work.

Executive Chef Shelley Robinson implements the mission in her meals by focusing on local, seasonal, and sustainable foods within the Okanagan community. She also serves as a role model for aspiring female chefs.

Meal Plans
Funds are loaded into your UBCcard when you purchase a meal plan. To make food purchases from your meal plan, you must have your UBC card.

Meal plans are made up of two types of Dining Dollars: Basic Dollars and Flex Dollars. Basic dollars can be used at most UBCO Food Services Locations on campus. Flex Dollars are used at off-campus dining partners.

The price of the meal plan correlates with the amount of food purchases you can make. There are four meal plans to choose from (from least expensive to most expensive): Bronze Plan, Silver Plan, Gold Plan, Platinum Plan.
