One of the great things about living in residence is not having to buy groceries, prepare food, cook meals or clean up after you are done. At St Mike’s we take care of all these chores for youwhat could be more convenient! Another benefit about residence is getting to eat all your meals in the company of good friends. With its oak-paneled walls and decorative crests, the Canada Room is truly the heart and soul of the SMC residences. Our Food Service department is run by Chartwell’s, who provides a remarkable array of nutritious options, balanced choices and tasty entres.

Vegetarian, Vegan, and Halal food are always available. Other dietary requirements can be requested from Food Service.

Meal Plans and Menus

All residents must subscribe to a meal planthere are no cooking facilities in any of our residence buildings. Meal plan prices are included in SMC Residence room fees and are detailed in Residence Fees.

St Mike's offers continuous dining with three meal plan options:

• 7 days per week
• 5 days per week (Monday - Friday)
• 5 days per week (Sunday 4pm - Friday 2pm).

Both 5 day plans cost the same and are a good choice for residents who plan to go home on weekends. The 7-day plan offers the best value and flexibility, and gives you access to all the meals we serve.

The Canada Room is an all-you-care-to-eat facility. When you enter the Dining Room, the cashier will scan your T-Card, which is also your Meal Card. Once in the Dining Room, you may choose whatever you wish to eat from the range of possibilities offered and always come back for seconds.
