It’s time again for National Sweater Day! This annual WWF Canada event is held every February, to encourage actions that individuals can take to reduce climate impact and save energy. BCIT has been a proud participant for over a decade, and this year our BCIT Green Team is excited to be doing multiple events, as well as giving away prizes of BCIT hoodies and mugs!

At Burnaby’s SE2 on February 2, we’re doing two live events:

• From 10am to 1pm, please wear your sweater, bring your own mug, and join us in the Great Hall for a coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, get tips on saving energy and reducing your personal greenhouse gas emissions, write your personal pledge to save energy, and drop a ballot in the prize draw box.
• Then, from 12:30 to 1:30, please join us in Town Square D for a presentation on actions some of our BCIT staff have taken to reduce their footprints, and take home some ideas. You’re welcome to bring your lunch as well!

For our staff, faculty, and students at each satellite campus, our wonderful librarians will be putting information and take-home packs of dry hot chocolate and tea in their libraries leading up to February 2.

Prize draw entry may be done by posting a sweater selfie to Instagram using the hashtag #BCITSweaterDay

Draw deadline will be Thursday Feb 2 at 11:59 PM, and winners will be notified to pick up their prizes at their preferred campus.
