Advancing Sustainability at the VSB
Teachers, students, parents, and staff have been advancing the sustainability of their schools for many years. This has included projects that increase energy efficiency, create gardens and outdoor learning opportunities, and promote active transportation.
In recent years, the Board has encouraged a more comprehensive approach. This included:
- In 2010 the VSB adopted its first Sustainability Framework.
- In 2013/14 the VSB conducted a Sustainability Audit to evaluate the progress of sustainability in the district.
- District staff are currently developing a multi-year Sustainability Action Plan which includes input from all levels of the VSB community. Contact us at sustainability@vsb.bc.ca for more information.
