2) A Call for Success Stories from the West…

The competition is on…we want to hear about YOUR successes over the past year. Whether it was the formation of a student group, the implementation of a policy or a multi-stakeholder committee, whether you completed a sustainability assessment, a GHG inventory or you held a WICKED event, its time EVERYONE had a chance to hear about it.

To submit one (or more) successes (should only take a couple minutes), or for more details go to http://syc-cjs.org/sustainable/Success+Stories or email Maude at

maude.gilbert-vanasse(at)umontreal.ca.

3) This listserv is for YOU! Feel free to post your queries, your critiques, your quandaries or even your quotes (as long as they have to do with sustainability that is!).

Listserv address: Syc-bc@list.sierraclub.ca . Listservs work just like email addresses, you just have to be on the listserv to send them out to the group! If you or someone you know would like to be added, contact bc@syc-cjs.org.
