There may no such thing as a free lunch, but all diners will have to spend is a little time to enjoy the campus community barbecue on the River Commons at noon today — Tuesday, September 18.

The complimentary event welcomes students, faculty, and staff to the start of the school year and offers entertainment along with halal chicken or beef sausages, apples, potato chips, and a meatless option for vegetarians.

Lunch is served while supplies last and will proceed rain or shine in the green space, located along Turtle Island Walk between Lambton Tower and Chrysler Hall. It is hosted by the Office of the President with the support of Food and Catering Services and the alumni association.
