In honour of World Fair Trade Day on May 10, we’re celebrating our campus’s designation as a Fair Trade Campus with a Fair Trade Celebration booth on May 12 at the SLC Green. Our celebration will feature free snacks and hot beverages, along with a chance to win a Fair Trade Prize Pack and other prizes.

Help us plant 150 more native trees this spring as part of our on-going efforts to restore the Healing Forest.
