10 years ago, students voted "YES" on a referendum question to transform Concordia University into one of the most sustainable campuses in Canada. This year, the Sustainability Action Fund Concordia is celebrating its 10th year anniversary.
Steven Guilbeault, co-founder of Montreal-based NGO Équiterre, will give a keynote address on sustainability initiatives and progress in university campuses accross Québec. The keynote will be followed by a sustainability panel made of Concordia community members and moderated by Julia Couture-Glassco.
