Cockroaches were discovered in the UTMSU Food Centre on Monday, October 5, leading to the temporary closure of the facility and relocation of the food centre.
“We have never seen roaches before in the office,” said Erik Hernandez-Oberding, the food centre coordinator, who posted on the centre’s Facebook page that the cockroaches originated from a box donated to the centre.
As of press time, The Medium was unable to verify conflicting reports about the source of the donated box.
The food centre has temporarily relocated to the Student Centre, room 241, with plans to return to the food centre office in Davis currently undetermined.
