Get Involved
Fleming College encourages involvement in sustainability through a Green Campus, Green Community and Green Culture approach with our students and staff. Throughout the year, we host exciting events and activities as well as opportunities to add to your Co-Curricular Record (CCR). Whether it's donating used clothes to our Campus Free Market, helping with our Waste Buddies program or tending to our pollinator gardens, there are a lot of ways to learn and practice sustainability skills on campus.
Do you have some ideas to improve sustainability culture on campus and in our community? Come visit us, we want to hear from you!
