Member Services

General

Please see the Green College Dining Society Members' Handbook above for GCDS policies. The handbook includes a lot of important information, including how to pay your fees.

Meal Plan is Mandatory 

Resident Member and their  partner's participation in the meal plan as provided by the Green College Dining Society (GCDS) is an integral part of life and community participation at Green College.  Not only is the function of dining together an act of community, so too are everyone's contributions to the plan to benefit the common good. 

Dietary Restrictions

Please note that the kitchen prepares only three meal plan types:  meat, vegetarian, and omnivore (a plan for those who want to eat less meat). The kitchen can accommodate allergies, but cannot guarantee it can accommodate special diets (vegan, paleo, etc.) or all dietary restrictions. 

Please complete the Dietary Accommodation Form and enquire with the kitchen in advance to see if your dietary restrictions can be met.


Resident Member Meals

*Some residents may choose to eat breakfast elsewhere in Graham House or outdoors on the lower patio. Residents who use alternative spaces are responsible for cleaning all table surfaces they use and they are responsible for returning all dishes, cutlery, glasses, and trays to the Dining Hall. 


Flexible Dining Options

The GCDS recognizes that not everyone can attend meals at meal times all the time, and has the following programs to assist with those times.

Bagged Breakfast Program - request your breakfast be packaged up for pickup from the common fridge

Boxed Dinner Program and the ticket voucher - request that your dinner be boxed for pickup from the common fridge, or request a voucher (limit one per month) in lieu to be redeemed for a meal at another time

Membership Fee Reduction (MFR) - request a reduction in your monthly meal plan fees for when you're going to be away for seven or more consecutive days within a single month.

Alcohol Service

A selection of alcoholic beverages such as beer and wine is available for purchase at the serving counter with dinner. 

The Dining Society holds a food-primary liquor licence, which permits selling and serving alcohol with food in licensed areas of Green College. This licence gives the responsibility over the purchase, sale, and consumption of alcohol in licensed spaces. Members should note that this responsibility makes it unlawful for anyone to:

The liquor license applies only to the following areas: Graham House, Upper patio, grassed patio north of the Coach House. 

The liquor license does not apply to: Green Commons, Coach House, Common Kitchen and residence rooms.
