Healthy Beverage Initiative

Healthy Beverage Initiative at UBC Okanagan

Jul 5, 2019 | Food and Water, VOICE Projects

UBC Wellbeing Scholar, Morgan Alford, and Campus Health Voice team conducted a survey at UBCO to assess attitudes toward healthier beverage choices and consumption patterns. In June 2018, 438 campus community members completed the survey. Based on findings the following interim recommendations were made to guide the implementation of the Healthy Beverage Initiative on UBCO’s campus:

  • Provide healthy alternatives to sugar sweetened beverages at competitive prices in all food outlets and vending machines.
  • Install more complimentary water-bottle refilling stations and improve the maintenance of existing water stations to address concerns about poor quality water.
  • Investigate accessibility to quality drinking water in campus residences.
