Commuter Challenge

The Commuter Challenge is a week-long friendly, green commuting competition organized by Green Action Centre. Workplaces and institutions throughout Canada participate in this competition for the chance to win awesome prizes! U黄瓜社区's Campus Sustainability Office has participated in the commuter challenge for many years as part of our ongoing commitment to reducing carbon emissions, and promote sustainable transportation.

U黄瓜社区 Resident's Giveaway

(Formerly the McFeetors Hall Residents' Giveaway)

This event was started in 2019 by the Campus Sustainability Office. During this event, our office, along with the help of Eco Team U黄瓜社区, Campus Living, and Facilities Management, provides the resources for students to donate their household items to community members in need. All items are sorted and then taken to community organizations for distribution. 

Information about the April 2025 U黄瓜社区 Resident’s Move-Out Giveaway can be found here.

In 2024 U黄瓜社区 diverted 189.7kgs of reusable items from the landfill through this initiative and our chosen organizations were Centre Flavie, Main Street Project, and Oyate Tipi.
