In the Sustainability and Financial Management (SFM) program, students don't just study sustainability, they practice it.

The SFM program proudly teams up with Sustainable Waterloo Region for an annual tree planting event, bringing together students and staff to help plant micro-forests that enhance biodiversity and inspire environmental stewardship in our local community. 

Through this hands-on, collaborative experience, they learn the true value of sustainability from the ground up.
