Special menus, celebrations and treats keep Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³» students healthy and happy, especially during the pandemic. At Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³» we understand food goes beyond nutrition, it keeps students connected and help support social, emotional health.
Food is connected to mental health and well-being.
Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»â€™s Chartwells Food Service delivers nutritious and balanced meals 7 days a week for students in residence, at school and during activities. However, it is the small things like special menus and celebrations; regional and premium dinners; and the special treats and snacks that help bring smiles to students’ faces and support their well-being.Â
Research shows that consuming foods that are associated with good thoughts and warm feelings not only improves a sense of well-being, it also decreases loneliness. This is especially important during times when isolation and social distancing are required. That is why we pay special attention to nutrition aspects; dietary restrictions and student’s likes and dislikes.
Keeping students connected under quarantine including birthdays
Thierry from Nigeria arrived in Canada to start his in-person program at Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³» in September, 2020. As with all students arriving from out of our residences, he had to remain in quarantine for 14 days. “I felt supported and knew how to get help if I needed it. I was very busy with my remote classes and quickly learned the protocol to get my meals that were placed on the table by my room door. â€Â
He also spent his birthday in quarantine and to make sure he felt loved and connected, his mother ordered a special breakfast and chocolate treats with a beautiful card from Chartwells, our Food Service provider. To celebrate the end of quarantine, she also ordered a cake that he could share with friends.
