SUMMARY:Sensing Bear Worlds: Co-Existence and the Ecological Imagination
DESCRIPTION:How might a black bear experience the CapU campus?  \nA bear’s sense of smell is roughly 2\,100 times more acute than ours — where we see a green campus edging into forest\, a bear reads a dense\, layered archive of scent: fruiting shrubs\, the pull of the nearby Lynn creek\, the memory of seasons past. In a continuation of our work on International Bear Day\, we invite you to let that perspective stretch your ecological imagination.  \nStep into the CapU forest and experiment with watercolour as a way of attuning to what you might otherwise miss — the damp layering of the ravine\, the textures and shadows that a more-than-human world is always composing around us. What might it feel like to know this forest the way a bear does?

SUMMARY:Tending Space: Processing Climate Emotions Through a Nature-Based Lens
DESCRIPTION:This outdoor workshop invites participants to explore and process complex emotions related to climate change. Through guided nature-based practices\, we will create space to identify\, name\, and sit with the full range of feelings that arise when witnessing environmental change—from grief and overwhelm to gratitude and inspiration. Grounded in therapeutic principles\, this reflective and educational experience offers permission to feel\, to be witnessed\, and to cultivate a deeper understanding of how climate emotions show up in our bodies\, minds\, and relationships. While facilitated by a registered clinical counsellor\, this workshop is designed to support personal exploration and learning in a group setting rather than serve as a therapy session.\nThis workshop is led by Emily Potts\, a Registered Clinical Counsellor\, with experience in climate science\, outdoor guiding\, and group facilitation. This workshop is not a therapy session and provides a space for learning and personal exploration in a group setting.

SUMMARY:Harvest to Home - Introduction to Hydroponics
DESCRIPTION:Curious about growing fresh lettuce\, herbs\, or even tomatoes year‑round? Join us for this hands-on introduction to hydroponics and learn how to create a perpetual growing season in Calgary—no outdoor garden required. Offered as part of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Month and in partnership with the Office of Institutional Commitments\, this workshop explores the history of hydroponics\, what can be grown hydroponically\, and the essential elements needed for success. You’ll also learn the pros and cons of different hydroponic systems\, debunk common myths\, and discover how to get the most out of your own setup. Students will build a simple Kratky‑method hydroponic system during the workshop and take it home to keep growing. It’s a great starting point for anyone looking to cook with fresher\, home‑grown ingredients. This workshop is free\, and registration is required.

SUMMARY:Electrici-T Challenge: Energy Data and Sustainability Analytics
DESCRIPTION:The Electrici-T Challenge\, organized by the Financial Research and Learning Lab\, is an applied learning competition that engages students in analyzing Canada’s electricity sector through data-driven sustainability assessment. \n\n\n\nUsing professional financial and energy datasets\, participants build interactive dashboards to evaluate major utility companies while integrating key performance indicators such as emissions intensity\, renewable energy generation\, and ESG performance. The challenge strengthens students’ technical\, analytical\, and critical thinking skills. \n\n\n\nThrough hands-on data exploration and collaborative problem-solving\, students gain practical insight into how energy systems\, public policy\, and corporate strategy intersect in the transition to low-carbon economies. The activity promotes evidence-based decision-making and responsible investment perspectives. \n\n\n\nThe competition format fosters teamwork\, accountability\, and leadership\, while encouraging innovation in sustainability reporting and performance evaluation. \n\n\n\nThis activity supports SDG Month Canada by advancing Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG 7)\, Climate Action (SDG 13)\, Industry\, Innovation and Infrastructure (SDG 9)\, Quality Education (SDG 4)\, and Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12)\, while building future-ready sustainability and data competencies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnglish\, In-Person\, SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities\, SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production\, SDG 13: Climate Action\, SDG 15: Life On Land\, SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals\, SDG 2: Zero Hunger\, SDG 4: Quality Education\, SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth\, SDG 9: Industry\, Innovation and Infrastructure

SUMMARY:Innovation Sprint Course on Designing a More Sustainable Future: Innovation Sprint (SDG 12)
DESCRIPTION:Designing a More Sustainable Future is a three-day\, credit-bearing Innovation Sprint that engages undergraduate students from across faculties in designing prevention-oriented\, regenerative solutions to sustainability challenges. \n\n\n\nFocused on SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production\, the Sprint invites students to explore how products and services can be designed from the outset to prevent waste and pollution\, while creating long-term environmental\, social\, and economic value. Participants apply systems thinking and circular design principles to rethink production and consumption models. \n\n\n\nWorking in interdisciplinary teams\, students conduct research\, co-design strategies\, and develop evidence-informed prototypes under time constraints. The intensive format strengthens problem-solving\, collaboration\, and leadership skills while grounding learning in real-world contexts. \n\n\n\nStudents who successfully complete the Sprint earn 1.5 academic credits and contribute to applied sustainability initiatives that address pressing global challenges. The pass/fail structure encourages experimentation\, reflection\, and learning through practice. \n\n\n\nThis activity supports SDG Month Canada by advancing Quality Education (SDG 4)\, Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12)\, Industry\, Innovation and Infrastructure (SDG 9)\, and Climate Action (SDG 13)\, while building future-ready sustainability leadership.

SUMMARY:Capilano River Regional Park - Forest Resiliency Project 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join EarthWorks-CapU and Metro Vancouver Regional Parks for a hands-on forest restoration event in Capilano River Regional Park. Working alongside Regional Parks staff\, participants will help construct a cedar split-rail fence along unsanctioned trails in an area impacted by hemlock looper moth outbreak and off-trail activity. By redirecting foot traffic\, this fencing will protect degraded understory habitat and prepare the site for future native planting.\nPlease note this is a physically active event — participants should be comfortable carrying 10-foot cedar beams (approximately 15 lbs) and using hammers. All tools and materials will be provided. We will meet at the Cleveland Dam parking lot and hike approximately 15 minutes to the work site.

SUMMARY:Foresight for Climate Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Learn from a panel of experts about how futures and foresights approaches can be used to build climate resilience in Canadian cities. Cities around the world are increasingly planning for and responding to climate risks\, trying to use long-term perspective to weigh actions today against a range of possible future outcomes that may take decades to materialize. Yet day-to-day demands and short planning cycles often make it difficult to look too far ahead. While many solutions already exist\, scaling them requires rethinking our approaches to governance\, decision-making\, and our societal values. That work begins with envisioning alternative futures and using foresight to try to imagine and anticipate what the future brings. \nJoin us on March 2nd from 12pm – 1pm EST at the Grebel Gallery for an engaging dialogue exploring practical tools and approaches to help cities envision and plan for more resilient futures. The event will explore what future climate risks cities face\, what creative and design-based approaches exist for exploring future planning\, and how cities can spark and support real change in their communities.
