Welcome to the Higher Education Group working towards sustainability education in BC.
This group is intended to connect the BC Working Group with organizations and individuals interested in advancing sustainable development at colleges and universities in BC.
You are welcome to join this group. Once you have joined the group you can interact with the group in a number of ways.
If you have some ideas you want to write down - post a blog. If you have found a great resource - post it as a weblink or if it is a document you can post it as a shared resource. Finally - if you know of an event - post it as in the events section.
Once you have joined the group you can post it so it is public or so that only the group can see it (when logged in).
