University of Ottawa Residential Dining Brings Home the Gold

Jun 28, 2021

June 28th, 2021, Ottawa, Canada – The National Association of College and University Food Services (NACUFS) announces the University of Ottawa as a recipient of the NACUFS 2020 Loyal E. Horton Dining Awards. The University of Ottawa received a Gold award in the category of Residential Dining Concept for large institutions. Named for a NACUFS founder, past president, and highly regarded innovator, the dining awards celebrate exemplary menus, presentations, special event planning, and new dining concepts, and provide an avenue for sharing ideas and creative presentations in campus dining services.
 
Fifty-eight member institutions across North America submitted entries in six categories, including Residential Dining Concepts, Residential Dining Facility, Residential Dining—Special Event, Retail Sales—Single Concept/Multiple Concepts/Marketplace, Catering—Special Event, and Catering—Online Menu.
 
A team of six judges and a committee chair safely gathered in East Lansing in June 2021 to examine each entry and selected top candidates in each category. All winners are listed here: https://www.nacufs.org/Awards/LoyalEHortonDiningAwards. The Grand Prize winners will be announced at a later date.
 
Competing for one of these prestigious awards helps market the dining program as a winning program and builds a sense of pride and team spirit among dining staff. Sharing creativity and knowledge with other foodservice professionals is a key component of NACUFS membership.
 
“We are thrilled for the University of Ottawa Dining Services to be recognized as one of the top student resident dining experiences in North America through this award,” said Derek Küffer, Resident District Manager & General Manager for Chartwells Canada. “This award reflects the passion and dedication of our associates, combined with our commitment to going above and beyond to care for our campus community. Our determination to always put students first in all our decisions is the key component in our constant drive for excellence.  We are very proud of our team’s hard work and enthusiasm being recognized through this award.”
