Campus and Community Planning
As public stewards, we are accountable for ensuring that any choices made about land, buildings, infrastructure and transportation serve UBC’s core academic mission and advance sustainability.
Harvest Feast on Main Mall
Connect with the UBC community by joining hundreds for a feast on Thursday, September 25 from 4:30 to 7 pm.

Seating for 1,000 will be set up at long tables lining Main Mall and creating a buzz of activity from Martha Piper Plaza to the Great Trek Cairn.

Don’t miss this epic evening and the opportunity to share in the bounty of the fall harvest, all while enjoying a sustainable meal with friends, old and new.

Sort it Out
UBC is aspiring to be a “Zero Waste” campus where all unwanted products and materials will be treated as a resource that can be used again.

You can make a difference and help UBC achieve this goal by sorting your recyclable items into the proper bins at recycling stations on campus. Small, sustainable choices we make each day create a ripple and can lead to widespread, progressive change.
