The Department is committed to reducing plastic waste and sustainable sourcing. Your choice of caterer must reflect this commitment. We want to avoid as much as possible single-use plastics (bottles, cutlery, food trays, cups, milk/cream pods etc.), aluminum cans, non-recyclables, non-compostables and packaging. If you are having difficulty identifying a vendor that can meet our environmental standards, the Department can provide you with a list. Please send us the following information when requesting catering for your event:
- Event name
- Date
- Time (start & end)
- Address & room number
- Website of the caterer you would like us to order from
- Number of items you would like us to order. Please visit your preferred caterer’s website, take a look at their menu, and make sure you use the names the caterer uses on their website for items you request.
- Items that need to be labelled (i.e. for guests with dietary restrictions or allergies)
- Source of funds
- If source of funds is dept. operational, please add an email with the Chair’s approval
