Student Dinner for the 2025-2026 year begins Tuesday September 16, 2025.  All post-secondary students are invited for a free dinner on Tuesdays!  

STUDENT DINNER for post secondary students including University of Victoria, Camosun College, Canadian College for the Performing Arts and any other post-secondary institution. 

Emmanuel invites all post-secondary students to join us for a free dinner on Tuesdays during the fall and winter school terms. If you want some good food and a few laughs with old and new friends come join us for dinner. There is no obligation to become involved at Emmanuel.  The meal has no strings attached.

Student Dinner was founded by Emmanuel member Betty Risto in 2004, and volunteers from the congregation have kept the tradition alive for 21 years now, even serving dinners to-go during the pandemic. In the video below, volunteers Paul and Catherine Scambler talk about the history and purpose of the dinner. Enjoy!
