Passengers at the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal in Vancouver, British Columbia now have access to healthy, individually-packaged meals, snacks and juices all hours of the day and night from a newly installed UpMeals vending machine, according to a press release.

"The team at Quay Properties understood the market demand for a healthy solution that's accessible 24/7," Drew Munro, co-founder and CEO of UpMeals, said in the press release.

Travelers will choose from menu items including entrees, salads and bowls, handheld items such as wraps and juices, breakfast items and snacks.

"As restrictions have eased from the COVID-19 pandemic, we've continued to experience record travel numbers at our ferry terminals," said Taylor Mathiesen, president, Quay North Urban Development.

All product packaging is fully sustainable and can be broken down for composting and recycling once used.
