A UK magazine has named BCIT “Canada’s Greenest” campus.

All right !

If making it a competition means more institutions will become greener, I’m all for it

BCIT won the gold green star from Achieving Business Excellence magazine – a UK based magazine that recently did an article on Canada’s Greenest Campuses.

“I am thrilled that Achieving Business Excellence has featured BCIT as Canada’s greenest campuses,” says Jennie Moore, director of Sustainable Development and Environmental Stewardship within the BCIT School of Construction and the Environment (SoCE). “It is thanks to the foresight and team approach between BCIT operations and academics that we are reducing our footprint.” read the full press release

Congrats to BCIT.

The article is on page 63 of the hard-copy version of the magazine.

They do have a very fancy flash version of the magazine online – you know, with pages that turn – essentially what looks like a PDF on steroids. It looks great but it’s really tricky getting the pages sized so that you can actually read the copy.

A little tip: use this direct link instead, and you’ll get a larger version without having to futz with the pop-up window on the magazine site.
