Virtual Tables
Join other students across Canada for virtual events focussed on food! While we can't meet in person, we can find new ways to connect with good food and each other.
What inspires you?
Send us a food photo!
When you gather together in a kitchen with a community or with family, you get to have great conversations and share a great meal.
But you also take home values that impact your life in many positive ways.
Have you ever participated in a community kitchen? What was your experience like?

Can you guess the cost of ingredients for the grain bowls we made at our last event? Comment below ⬇️
The cost was unbelievable. The flavors? Mouth-watering.
And working together with other students to create a meal? Like a home away from home.
All students went home with a big smile.
Stay tuned to hear about the values we took home from the event 🍽

Posted @withregram • @joshnamaharaj A kitchen is so much more than food and equipment. Kitchens need to be inviting spaces that welcome you in, and offer some inspiration for what delicious things can be made. Last weekend, the @communallunch team and I hosted a community kitchen session for students @thegeorgeresidence. We made brown rice bowls, packed full of seasonal ingredients and delicious summer flavour. We had 12 students in the kitchen, and in just 2 hours, we had all of this beautiful food prepped and ready to eat. Around the table with students we heard lots of stories of bad food experiences, and got lots of ideas about the kind of good food programs they'd love to see. Basic needs include air, water, AND food. Student residences that don't include meal plans or any food service do NOT meet student needs. Food is not a frill, it's a basic human need. This can be so much better. #studentfood #communitykitchen #kitchenanimation #brownricebowl #studentcooking #summerfood #localfood

Chef @joshnamaharaj taught GBC Residence students how to prepare rice bowls. Participants got to sit together for a meal and then take a second rice bowl home for the next day!

As we wrap up another successful year and look forward to the new school year ahead, we would like to thank all of our wonderful campus partners and local food suppliers for helping us address student food insecurity by #NourishingStudents across Canada this year! Without your enthusiasm and support, we would not have been able to host 16 Cook-Alongs this year with students from across the country!

We had an awesome time cooking with students from across the country yesterday at our #CrossCanadaCookAlong, thank you to everyone who joined us! Our conversation on how to create change on post-secondary campuses across 🇨🇦 was very inspiring, and student voices are so important in leading the call for #BetterCampusFood!
This event would not have been possible without our campus partners and the wonderful local food suppliers who provided the delicious and local ingredients for students. Big shout out to @lusu_tbay @theloadedladle @dsu__sustainability @reginastudentsunion and @gbc.studentlife!

A New blog post is up on our website! Our very own Project Lead @jenmitsche has written a great reflection on the current state of student food insecurity in Canada, and what the path forward to a better campus food culture can look like. Check it out using the link in our bio!
"An inclusive, healthy, and sustainable food culture is one that includes opportunities for skill building, knowledge production, local healthy food, and communal eating – it’s one that builds a culture of care."
