Teatree House Café

Teatree House Cafe is an OPIRG working group initiated and run by a group of

University of Guelph students who are passionate about critically (local and ethically)

sourced food. Our main goal is to establish a student-run membership co-op that

provides affordable (ie by-donation) options, and is considerate

towards those dietary needs not yet satisfied by current establishments on campus.

We are currently working to extend our roots deeper within the UoG Campus by

finding accessible space. In order to continue this project, the Teatree House working

group is requesting student support of $0.10 (indexed to the cost of living). We will use

this funding to further our search for space, and eventually bring to life a cafe run by and

for the students at the University of Guelph.

It would become a centre that is welcoming and open for educational space,

available for workshops and conferences, as well as a place to comfortably study. Many

other Canadian Universities have successfully claimed student-run space and opened

very similar community cafés. Teatree is working to build a people and planet-

centered co-op structure, that is socially and financially inclusive, and that promotes a

more robust connection to our food from farm to fork.


Question:

Do you support a $0.10 indexed co-op membership fee for all undergraduate students so that the student group can continue to work on opening an accessible, and open student-run space that serves affordable, and critically (locally, and ethically) sourced food that is mindful of unique diets? (Y/N)
