SUO Smart Meals

The Smart Meals program was launched in September 2023 by the SUO’s Campaigns Committee to introduce a low-cost food option for UBC Okanagan students.

The pillars of the program include Food Security and Affordability, Sustainability and Mental Health. Each meal is designed to be plant-based as this produces a lower environmental impact to help UBC reach its goal of reducing food waste emissions. This initiative was deemed a success from the students’ point of view with over 2,000 meals sold from January to April alone. Currently, the program has been paused for the summer as the Campaigns Committee prepares for a new and improved way of providing Smart Meals for students in September.

The committee is actively seeking feedback from students to ensure the program is reflective of its mission in giving UBC-O students a low cost and healthy food option on campus.
