Community Engagement

Together, we are a community.

A continued exchange of information and ideas between the College and the community is a key element in the College learning experience.  The ESS curriculum offers experiential and community engaged learning opportunities in which students apply their sustainability knowledge and increase their understanding of how to mobilize change.

The broad reach of the College's community engagement includes other departments and faculties at Â鶹´«Ã½, other universities, local and Federal government agencies, non-governmental organizations, community groups, and citizen activists throughout Nova Scotia and beyond.
