ABOUT THIS EVENT
Towards a Culture of Sustainability: Drawing on our strengths and stories!
Please join Institute Sustainability in partnership with Diversity Circles for a Community Celebration about building a culture of sustainability here at BCIT. This academic year, we have held a series of focus groups called 8x8s with BCIT employees from across the Institute to discuss sustainability.
Hear from participants, learn from knowledge keepers, share your ideas as we move towards a sustainable BCIT and a sustainable world.
This event has been moved to a virtual format. All attendees who RSVP’d will receive a Zoom link by Wednesday, October 28th. If you have not received your Zoom details by that date, please email Christine Pinkham.
