The third annual Sustainable Champions Gala, organized by the Concordia Sustainability Hub, will take place Tuesday, March 5 and the Concordia community is invited.

Concordia’s President and Vice-Chancellor Alan Shepard will welcome guests, especially the students, staff, and faculty members who will be thanked and celebrated for their diverse contributions towards the university’s social, ecological and economic well-being.

The Sustainable Champions Gala was created to show Concordia’s collective gratitude to its ambassadors of change. The gala provides an opportunity to express appreciation to those involved in sustainability endeavours throughout Concordia as well as in the surrounding community.

It is also an occasion to raise the overall profile of sustainability on campus, and to encourage dialogue and collaboration regarding other potential initiatives.

Where: Room H-763, Henry F. Hall Building (1455 De Maisonneuve Blvd. W.), Sir George Williams Campus

After the awards ceremony, hors d’oeuvres and beverages will be served to give everyone an opportunity to meet others at the university interested in sustainability.
