Simon Fraser University’s (SFU) commitment to sustainability is admired the world over. The university is most well known for UniverCity, a model sustainable community designed to house 10,000 people atop beautiful Burnaby Mountain.
SFU added another feather to its sustainability cap on Wednesday by hosting a rip-roaringly successful sustainability festival in Convocation Hall, its central gathering place on campus.
Over 60 vendors set up booths, with topics ranging from alternative transportation to climate change education to sustainable fashion and purchasing. An extensive food and beverage garden served up local treats, and hot food like salmon lunches helped keep participants and attendees warm on what was otherwise a chilly autumn day.
