Environment Week

Environment Week is an annual celebration of sustainability that takes place in communities across Canada. Dating back to 1970, this week celebrates the tremendous energy, enthusiasm and initiative of Canadians who are interested and engaged in environmental conservation. The goal of Environment Week is to help citizens become more environmentally aware, and to give them the tools they need to make their communities greener and healthier places for us and for future generations.

As part of Environment Week Edmonton, the University of Alberta’s Office of Sustainability is hosting a series of free workshops to celebrate sustainability and encourage the discovery of new knowledge and skills. Bring your lunch and come learn about different aspects of sustainability! Registration requirements and eligibility are detailed below.
