Dining

There’s nothing that brings a family together like a great home-cooked meal. We put a lot of love into our menu and our kitchen, offering residents fresh cookies and other baked treats every day, keeping our snack and juice fridge open, and whipping up some truly awesome meals in our state-of-the-art kitchen.

Some of our residents’ favourites include garlic prawns and rice, chicken cordon bleu, fresh salmon, and hamburgers.

  • Snack and juice fridge (where we will also store resident meals if they do not feel like eating at designated meal times)
  • Two home cooked meals a day and a self-serve continental breakfast State-of-the-art kitchen
  • Kitchenettes in each living space

“The menu at the Earl Haig Residence provides a good variety of nutritious food that meets the nutritional requirements of residents based on Canada’s Food Guide for Healthy Eating. Audits on nutritional adequacy, meal service and dining environment scored 100%. The dinner sampled was attractive, flavourful, and enjoyed by most everyone, including myself.”
