Nourishing Meals
CIC has proudly partnered with Chartwells, Canada’s leading campus dining provider.
At CIC, we believe students learn best when they’re well nourished. That’s why every meal is designed to fuel focus, support well-being, and feel comforting—just like home.
Our Executive Chef and professional food services team prepare 80+ fresh options daily, from soups, entrées with sides, salad bar, and desserts. Each menu is crafted to support a healthy lifestyle while respecting diverse tastes and dietary needs. Based on the Canadian food guide.

We Support:
- Halal meals

For students with allergies or special restrictions, we work closely with families, healthcare providers, on-site nurses, and our Executive Chef to provide safe alternatives.

Simple Access
One Card. No Hassle.
With a quick swipe of their Student ID, students enjoy seamless access to the dining hall and fully equipped kitchens across campus and residence—no cash, no stress.
All-You-Care-to-Eat Dining
Peace of Mind for Students—and Parents
CIC’s dining program is all-you-care-to-eat, giving students the freedom to enjoy balanced meals whenever they need them—without limits or counting costs.
Because meals are accessed through a Student ID card, parents never have to worry about their child running out of money as the semester progresses. Every meal is already taken care of, from the first day to the last.
From the first day to the last, your child always has access to nutritious meals. It’s one less thing to manage—and one more way we help families feel reassured.
A Dining Experience That Feels Like Home
CIC cafeterias are open 365 days a year, including weekends and holidays. Students never have to worry about where or how they’ll get their next meal.
With balanced nutrition, global flavors, and a warm, welcoming environment, dining at CIC supports more than hunger.
It supports energy, health, and readiness—for every day of the journey.
