Sustainability initiatives at the University of Manitoba

Did you know that the University of Manitoba has a commitment to sustainability?
As a symposium attendee, you can help in a number of ways:

  • Bring your reusable water bottle from home. Several water bottle fill stations can be found on the second floor, in and around the Multipurpose rooms and UMSU University Centre.
  • If you're bringing your own lunch, use your own re-usable containers to bring your lunch. Any leftover food can be deposited in the labelled compost bins found around UMSU University Centre. 
  • Recycle any unwanted paper at the end of the day. Look for the blue recycling bins around campus.
  • Return your name badge to the registration desk at the end of the day.
