ECOBVC: Environmental sustainability

Green matters to the College community - we harness this passion for the environment to create meaningful change through advocacy and leadership.

ECOBVC is Bow Valley College's (BVC) sustainability committee consisting of 18 staff and faculty College representatives. Our committee identifies, implements, and celebrates environmental best practices at the College that reduce its ecological footprint.

The College has signed two national protocols: the ACCC Pan-Canadian Protocol for Sustainability, and the University and College Presidents' Climate Change Statement of Action for Canada, which commit the College to a role as a sustainability leader.

Fulfilling these commitments will help ECOBVC – and the greater College community – weave sustainability into the fabric of College life for all students, staff, and faculty.

ECOBVC will:

  • Develop and maintain BVC's environmental sustainability strategy and policy
