Partnered Initiatives
Events & Activities
We connect the University of Victoria (UVic) campus and our local communities to a global network of partners. In addition to our accredited training, we work with our partners on collaborative initiatives and knowledge-sharing events that advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We help partners strengthen and expand the reach and scope of workshops, lectures and events related to the SDGs.

We supported POLIS at their World Water Day event in 2024 and 2025. We joined other organizations focused on sustainability and conservation at a resource fair. We also attended their feature documentary screening, which in 2025 was The Spirit Who Swims (dir. Bev Sellars and Garry Tutte).
