Article Abstract:
Foodservice facilities that would lure students out of local mall food courts and back into the campus for meals and refreshments was the mandate given by Northern Alberta Institute of Technology to facility planner/designer Marrack + Assoc Inc, in redesigning the school's two existing cafeterias. Marrack came up with a 'food fair' or market-style concept made up of individual food stations. This eliminated congestion, particularly for students who want only a salad or coffee, who can go directly to a dedicated station rather than queueing up with those interested in a hot meal.

Article Abstract:
Canada's Food Retail and Food Services Code, established in 1998, is aimed at simplifying and creating a uniform set of food safety standards across the country. The Code, developed from a policy paper called 'A Blueprint for the Canadian Food Inspection system,' is differentiated from conventional food safety regulations for its flexibility. The Code, which is meant to be used in conjunction with local health laws, acts as a guide that helps in harmonizing all existing food safety standards in the country.
