UNBC named one of Canada’s greenest employers

PRINCE GEORGE — UNBC has been named one of Canada’s greenest employers for the 11th time by Mediacorp.

One of the biggest reasons for the honour is its bioenergy plant, which provides heat to most buildings at the Prince George campus.

Others reasons include several sustainability initiatives, including the Green University Strategic Task Force, a central multi-partner committee of senior administration, staff, faculty, students and campus groups; and the longstanding Green Fund that provides support for sustainability project across UNBC campuses.

UNBC is the only employer primarily based in northern B.C. to earn the recognition.
