Special dietary needs in residence
Special dietary needs are taken very seriously by all staff,ÌýassociatesÌýand chefsÌýon the TruroÌýcampus. 
Students are asked toÌýidentifyÌýany dietary needs on their residence application. A report is generated by the Residence Office and provided to the Food Services team so they can plan for dietary needs and additional education that staff may require. All Food Service team members are required toÌýcomplete training on food allergens.  
Students with dietary needs are encouraged to meet to our food service director, Janice Faulkner,Ìýand headÌýchef to discuss any specific needs or concerns. JaniceÌýcan be contacted by emailÌýtoÌýjanice.faulkner@compass-canada.com.
Any new student who has identified a special dietary need will be invited to a meeting and dining hall tour during New to Dal where students can see food labels, where diet-specific foods are kept,Ìýand who they can reach out to if they have any questions or concerns.
