Campus dining is designed to satisfy all appetites, tastes and dietary requirements. The Notre Dame Campus features several dining options, including three – Prairie Lights Restaurant, Hard Drive Café and Voyageur Dining Room – that are staffed by students from our award-winning culinary arts program. You won’t find a less expensive gourmet meal in town. Snacks and sandwiches are available at kiosks throughout the Campus, including Tim Hortons coffee and baked goods.

At the Princess Street Campus, you can satisfy your caffeine and cruller cravings all day at our full-service Tim Hortons restaurant, or check out the selection of pizza and other goodies at the snack kiosk.The PSC is also surrounded by some of Winnipeg’s best cafés, ethnic restaurants and street vendors,

Fitness and Recreation

Whether you’re getting pumped up for an exam, working off some excess energy, or building a hard body, RRC offers fitness facilities at both the Notre Dame and Princess Street campuses.

Cardio and weight equipment and shower facilities are available to students and alumni with a valid card. If you don’t feel like pumping iron, then take in a cardio or yoga class, or hit the playing fields and running paths surrounding the NDC.

Libraries

RRC’s libraries offer everything you need for optimum studying. Current students and alumni have access to our entire catalogue of books, online databases, and computer labs. A reciprocal offer with the U of Manitoba and U of Winnipeg means students can also access all materials from both of those schools. Media services are available at RRC, offering 2,000 pieces of audiovisual equipment and 5,000 audiovisual titles.
