RRC Polytech signs SDG Accord in reported first for MB postsecondary institution

Red River College Polytechnic has announced that it is the first postsecondary institution in Manitoba to sign the SDG Accord, an international commitment made by learning institutions to deliver on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Under this commitment, RRC Polytech has pledged to align all of its major efforts with the SDGs; involve students, academics, staff, and local communities in this endeavour; collaborate with other signatory institutions; share its learning; and annually report on its progress toward the SDGs. “Sustainability is a journey without a final destination, so we’re prepared and excited to build on the current initiatives led by our Environmental Stewardship and Campus Renewal team and broaden our approach to include research, academics and all areas of College operations,” said RRC Polytech President Fred Meier.
