Our Initiatives
Fair Trade
Queen’s University is the 41st Fair Trade Campus in Canada! Hospitality Services has reached this goal through the collaboration with the Alma Mater Society and The Tea Room by offering Fair Trade products. We are promising a mutually beneficial relationship between both the consumer and producer. By partnering with Fair Trade Canada, we are helping to provide opportunities and market relationships to maintain the livelihood of farmers and provide their families with a more stable income. By purchasing Fair Trade, we ensure that ingredients were produced by small-scale farmer organizations or plantations that will meet the social, economic, and environmental standards.
Waste Less
All non-perishable and unspoiled perishable food is donated. We redirect all unspoiled food from landfill to our neighbours in need. Thank you for your support of the local community and reducing our environmental impact.
Our Commitment to 2SLGBTQ+ Communities
