Walter Murray is one of Saskatoons largest highschools, and boasts a diverse population of students and staff. This includes a large muslim population and a large vegetarian population. The cafeteria and foods classes do not use Halal meat for their dishes. This petition is to raise support and attention to the school and we are asking them to make Halal and Vegetarian options available everyday. 

A little more context about this issue;

Walter Murray’s Cafeteria offers several « main dishes » at lunch hour, this includes pizza, sandwiches, soups, salads, and instant ramen noodles. Certain items on the menu are considered Halal (because they aren’t byproducts of pork) like Tuna and Egg salad sandwiches or salads. But these are not offered everyday on a consistent basis. This can lead to students not eating at all during the lunch hour or not getting sufficient nutrients to power their brains throughout the day.

So how can we fix this?

The cafeteria should offer at least one halal/vegetarian main dish as an option everyday. If this cannot be accommodated we propose that the Cafeteria posts it’s menu for the week somewhere public so that students can be aware if they need to pack their own lunch or not.
