Board supports indigenous catering

The SFSS board of directors approved a letter in support of the ongoing initiative by the First Nation’s Student Association (FNSA) to permit indigenous catering on SFU campuses.

By issuing this letter of support, the SFSS hopes to make headway on this issue, which students have been discussing over the past year.
