We are included amongst only a hand full of elite organizations across Canada who have won this prestigious award five years in a row!  We receive these accolades not only because of the hard work and commitment of the Sustainability Office but through support from the Recycling Team, active and engaged staff and students and our Leadership Community and Executive Team who champion this work.

Red River College’s 5th annual State of Sustainability also shares Earth Day’s 45 birthday! Hard to believe how far we (the planet) has come in support of environmental protection since its launch in 1970.

Today, institutions like Red River College (RRC) lead the way in innovation and action that support a culture of sustainability on campus and in our community. RRC boasts being one of Canada’s Greenest Employers four years in a row, (we hope to make it 5, nudge-nudge-wink-wink). We receive these accolades not only because of the hard work and commitment of the Sustainability Office, but through the support of active and engaged staff and students, who participate in the many recycling programs we offer, and our Leadership Community and Executive Team who champion this work.
