Solutions: A Sustainability Network
» go to: solutions.viu.ca
In April 2006 an impromptu gathering of students, faculty, staff, and community members who were concerned about climate change convened as the Malaspina Climate Change Group (MCCG). In September 2006 we hosted the Fall Climate of Change Fair highlighting local solutions to a global problem. The Fair was a success in that it raised awareness, called for action, and expanded our network.
As more students got involved, we also expanded our areas of interest to include other ecological, social and economic challenges. We renamed our group Solutions: A Sustainability Network in January 2007. We are a growing coalition of people and organizations working to promote a culture of sustainability at Malaspina and in the community.
