Overview

Laurentian University is committed to fostering a strong culture of sustainability. In 2009, our President and Vice-Cancellor signed the Council of Ontario Universities pledge, Ontario Universities: Committed to a Greener World. By signing this pledge Laurentian University accepted responsibility to: "to assist in finding solutions to the challenges of environmental sustainability; to share knowledge about sustainability and climate change; and to incorporate, wherever possible, principles of sustainability into our own operations".


Sustainable initiatives at Laurentian University are driven and achieved by faculty, student and staff engagement and collaboration. Our mission is to promote environmental stewardship for the campus community in the hopes of continuously building a sustainable future to learn, work, live and play.

LUL SafeWalk

The SGA is proud to serve the Laurentian University community for a second year with its LUL SafeWalk service. LUL SafeWalk is a student volunteer operated program that offers all Laurentian students, staff, faculty and visitors a male and female walking team who will ensure you arrive at your campus destination safely. SafeWalk serves all on-campus buildings (including Willet Green Miller and The Vale Living with the Lakes Centre) as well as all parking-lots, bus stops and residence buildings. If you see the teams of blue vest-clad SafeWalk volunteer walkers out and about on campus, feel free to stop them to request a walk.
