Published: 30 August 2020

This summer the ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Sustainability Projects Fund (SPF) turned ten years old and it marked the occasion by giving the 130 year old Redpath Museum some funding help. Thanks SPFÌýfor subsidizing our new outreach project to create a "Museum in a Box" and for help to buy photography equipment so that we could create virtual StoryMap tours such as the ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Tree Tour and the ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Stones and fossils tour.

Check here for the launch of both these virtual tours for Homecoming ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ at the end of September.ÌýÌý

About the SPF: The Sustainability Projects Fund mandate is to build a culture of sustainability on ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ campuses through the development and seed-funding of interdisciplinary projects. It creates opportunities for the ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ community to actively engage in sustainability initiatives on campus, empowering individuals to be change agents in their own studying and work environment. Since 2010, there has been $10 million allocated plus, 250 projects funded and 86% were student-staff collaborations.
