Burlington, ON – Sodexo Canada has announced its partnership with the Nipissing University Student Union (NUSU) and Nipissing University. As part of a multi-year agreement, Sodexo will operate the Bay Bistro restaurant and On the Rocks Nightclub, as well as provide exclusive catering services on-premises.

"We are excited to be partnering with Sodexo on this venture, as a space for our students and the community is needed. We look forward to the memories that will be created in the future,” said NUSU President, Riley McEntee.

To best support, the community, NUSU, Nipissing University, and Sodexo will review catering menus and services on a semesterly basis to make any necessary adjustments.

“Sodexo is excited to work alongside NUSU and Nipissing University to make the Bay Bistro and On the Rocks Nightclub a sought-after destination for the Nipissing University and North Bay communities. Our partners have developed a truly inspiring new Student Centre to support their campus community, and we are happy to be a part of the project and also help make this space a successful community hub,” said Martin Lapointe, Senior Vice-President, Operations, Sodexo Campus Canada.
