    Sustainable Campuses:

    The Sustainable Campuses project was started in 1997 and aims to empower students to make university and college campuses in Canada more socially, environmentally, and economically sustainable by challenging institutional operations, curriculum and culture. The ultimate goal of Sustainable Campuses is to back up student campaigns with institutional changes in policy and practice that move campuses along the path to sustainability

    Go Beyond:

    goBEYOND is a B.C. provincial climate action project that engages students, faculty, staff and community partners at post-secondary institutions. Our goal is to move schools beyond climate-neutral - taking responsibility for our social and ecological impacts while taking the opportunity to create climate change solutions for our communities!
