Whereas the College does not intend to spend a significant amount of College funds on food and refreshments:
Generally, food/refreshments are only provided for functions that have a direct relation to approved college events/initiatives and include external guests (community members, visitors, students, etc);
Generally, food should not be funded for regular staff meetings, unless there are extenuating circumstances;
An example of extenuating circumstances may include a unique activity that makes it impractical for staff to take their regular lunch break.
Refreshments should not be funded for social events, such as holiday celebrations or birthday parties.
Light refreshments (cake, cookies, punch, etc) may be provided for employee retirement recognitions.
An increase to a Food/Refreshments budget must be approved by a VC or above.
