Help Waterloo Housing go green!
Students have an incredibly important role to play in making the University of Waterloo a more sustainable campus. To support students in this journey, we've launched a new Green Residence program in partnership with Housing and Residences.
During Fall 2019 and Winter 2020, student ambassadors living in main campus residences will run activities and share information about sustainable living to encourage and empower other students to make more sustainable choices in their daily lives.
Our Green Residence Ambassadors will be running winter term events starting January 13, 2020. Residence students are encouraged to find them at their biweekly booths and take part in activities for a chance to win awesome prizes! See below for a list of when and where activities are taking place!
