Environmental Issues Committee

The Committee’s current membership is comprised of Mount Allison staff, students, greater Sackville community members, and faculty. This page was created to be used as a resource by the committee to keep everyone updated on their progress throughout the year.

The university’s Environmental Policy outlines the mandate of the Environmental Issues Committee as follows:

to educate members of the University community on environmental issues;
to recommend to the President amendments to the Environmental Policy, additions and revisions to the performance indicators, and amendments to other University policies such as the Investment Policy;
to monitor the financial effectiveness of the operation of the policy, to recommend to the President that any savings generated as a result of the operation of the policy in a year be transferred to the Special Purposes Fund to support future environmental projects and to recommend to the President projects to be supported by any funds so transferred;
to recommend to the President that the University seek donations to support specific environmental projects;
to conduct a biannual environmental audit, using performance indicators, to assess the progress being made by the University towards achieving the goals outlined in this Policy; and
to report to the President on the biannual audit and annually on other matters on which the Committee considers it appropriate to report.
