A bit of a delayed response to your query, but I was in this lounge on September 30th (last week) and I didn't see any - food was self-service buffet style. It wasn't busy at all, although I did spot some uniformed Air Canada crew .

Somebody was telling me that you can access this lounge when departing from a domestic flight from YYC, as long as you were willing to take the hike (or catch a ride on the LINK Passenger Shuttle) to the international terminal. Was able to confirm this last week on a domestic flight to YVR - cleared security in the domestic terminal, walked over to the international terminal, and (without clearing security again) was able to access the Aspire lounge on the international side.
