Colleges and institutes play a crucial role in the race to net-zero and ReconciliACTION! With the largest post-secondary footprint in the country, our engagement makes a significant impact. Join us for the launch of Volume 2 of the Campus Living Labs: Innovative Collaborations for Net Zero to discover how CICan members are reducing GHG emissions and raising climate change awareness through meaningful collaborations among sustainability teams, students, applied research professionals, and Indigenous knowledge keepers. 

Three colleges will present their successful projects, demonstrating how turning campuses into living labs integrates research, teaching, and community development while respecting Indigenous knowledges. The presentations will be followed by a Q&A session, focusing on key areas like sustainability, waste, transportation, buildings and land management, and food. 

Come and be inspired by the innovative approaches and impactful success stories driving sustainability and reconciliation on campuses across Canada!
