The MUCS Dining Co-op is a growing group of people interested in co-creating an engaging community space in NDG where people can come together to cook and share meals as well as benefit from group food buying. Here are the basic ideas:
Buying food together is cheaper: buying food in bulk allows dining co-op members to get a broader variety of better quality foods for less money, with less packaging and less hassle.
Cooking food together is more efficient: preparing food in teams allows the members of the dining co-op to concentrate on cooking food only once per week while meeting new people learning new skills.
Eating food together is more fun: members of the dining co-op get to enjoy shared community dinners, prepared lunches, and healthy, fresh breakfast ingredients. Members can choose a meal plan that best suits their life style.
Who can join the dining co-op? The dining co-op is open to anybody - individuals, families, couples, elders, singles, students - everybody is welcome. However members must be able to work comfortably in a group setting.
Where is the dining co-op? The dining co-op will be located right next to Metro Vendome, on the corner of de Maisonneuve and Northcliffe in a wheelchair accessible space. The dining co-op space is being developed as a 1000 square foot shared kitchen, dining room, and living room.
