In an article for Maclean’s, Claire Sibonney discusses the various types of meal plans that can be purchased on Canadian university campuses. Most meal plans fit into one of two categories: declining balance plans, which operate like prepaid debit cards and charge for food on per item or by weight; and all-access access plans, which provide limited or unlimited entry to campus dining halls. Sibonney examines the variations of these plans offered on campuses across Canada, as well as their benefits and drawbacks. She then discusses how institutions like McGill University, the University of British Columbia, and the University of Toronto have adapted their food plans over the years in response to student feedback.
