About Us

Since 2006, the Science Undergraduate Society Environment Committee has organized GreenWeek to increase students' awareness and consciousness of the environment. GreenWeek is a week of student-run workshops, events and activities that are both entertaining and informative, but mainly geared towards promoting a culture of sustainability. This year, GreenWeek will take place during the week of March 18th – 22nd, 2013.

This year, the GreenWeek team has set a goal to increase a lasting sense of environmental awareness in both SUS and the McGill community. We hope to achieve this by raising money and awareness for Evergreen Canada. The committee wanted to give back to the Montreal community, which has oriented our choice towards Evergreen, a national charity since 1991 that has been showing Canadians in schools, communities, and homes how to take a hands-on-approach in creating and maintaining dynamic outdoor spaces in their urban environment.

Our Charity

Last year, proceeds from GreenWeek went to Evergreen Canada Foundation, which works to create and sustain dynamic outdoor spaces, including schools, communities, and homes. This year, GreenWeek and ECOuture will continue to support this foundation and its ambition, which is closely related to the efforts of McGill to create an environmentally-conscious school community within a city.


ECOuture

Friday, March 22, 2013 - Gert's Bar

The Science Undergraduate Society of McGill presents ECOuture, an environmentally conscious fashion show which is much more than your traditional catwalk. As the final event of GreenWeek 2013, it will feature both fashion forward and wearable clothing from sponsors that use vintage clothing and environmentally conscious materials.

All proceeds from the show will go to Evergreen, a foundation which seeks to foster a connection between healthy communities and a sustainable natural environment through community action.

We've got awesome raffle prizes lined up, including prizes from Frank & Oak, Lola Rosa, Me & You and many more! So come join us for a chance to win some gear, check out hot models and get inspired for Spring/Summer 2013 all while helping a great cause.
