One of the many services WCRI offers its members is on site food services, also known as meal plans. WCRI’s meal plans, offered by our food services department, provide our members with many conveniences:

• Freedom from shopping for food and groceries,
• Guaranteed meals for the entire term – there is no threat of running out of money before the term ends as the price of the meal plans covers the entire term of food,
• Nutritionally balanced meals planned by a Certified Nutritional Manager,
• Variety – the menu a four-week rotational menu with minimal repeats within each four-week cycle,
• Vegetarian options at all meals,
• Flexibility – if you cannot make it back for a meal time, you can request a bagged lunch or a late dinner so meals are accessible to you upon your return to the Co-op,
• Friendly staff, and
• Opportunities to get involved and provide suggestions and feedback for change to the meal plan service.

MEAL PLAN DIVISION

Each term WCRI has one “Meal Plan Division”, room and board residences which include the meal plan. All members living in the meal plan division are automatically included in the meal plan within that division. Generally speaking, meals begin on the first day of classes, running through to the end of the exam period and are served seven days a week, as follows:

• Monday through Friday: Continental breakfast, lunch, and dinner;
• Saturday and Sunday: Brunch, and dinner.

All members living in a meal plan division receive two guest meals each term. Each guest meal can be used to bring one friend to breakfast, lunch, or dinner for free.

For the Winter 2005 term, the meal plan start dates are:
