Supporting students

When you buy on campus, you’re not only getting convenience - you’re getting competitive prices, a variety of food options, friendly assistance and you’re helping support other Camosun services, programs and facilities.

Students and employees spend close to $1 million per year off-campus on food, books, electronics and other e-services that are readily available on campus.
