In a bid to eliminate landfill waste and align with UFV's sustainability commitments, an initiative between the Projects Team and the Office of Sustainability breathed new life into old furniture. After reaching out to several local secondary schools, nearly 200 chairs, 80 tables, and 15 whiteboards found new homes and were saved from the landfill.

This project centers on the sustainable fashion movement in Canada and, in particular, the Lower Mainland. There are many companies, initiatives, studies, and policies contributing to a more sustainable clothing sector. However, since there is no comprehensive scan of these activities and resources it is difficult to understand how this sector is progressing in the Lower Mainland. This project is undertaking an environmental scan (the first of its kind) of 120+ companies involved in the sustainable clothing sector in the Lower Mainland .
