About Sustainable Cafeterias
In 2009, Sierra Youth Coalition (SYC) became involved in a partnership
with the Fédération étudiante universitaire du Québec (FEUQ), in order
to maintain a strong relationship with students in Québec’s
universities. The student unions, represented by the FEUQ asked for
tools to improve the sustainability of university food services. In
response to their request, the campaign “Café durable” or "Sustainable
Cafeterias" was born in 2010. Student representatives are very
enthusiastic about this campaign, and not only in Québec: during the
12th Annual National Sustainable Campuses Conference, held this year
at Queen's University, students from all over the country expressed
their interest in having a similar campaign at their university.
The campaign guide rests on four pillars: management, operations, food
and community. For each topic, different actions are proposed to
increase sustainability. More than a resource, it’s a way to implement
a structured process to achieve the shared goals of thousand of
university students. The campaign guide includes proposed actions for
each topic, information about project management, a chart used to
evaluate food services, success stories and resources.
