Get ready to bundle up because Sweater Week is back!
During UFV’s fourth annual Sweater Week (Nov. 25–29) temperatures will be reduced by one to two degrees to a minimum target of 20 °C. This will happen in most spaces throughout the Abbotsford and Chilliwack campuses to lower the school’s carbon emissions.
Students, staff or faculty can join in the fun and help raise awareness about climate change: take a selfie in your sweater next week anywhere around UFV campuses and you can qualify to win daily and grand prizes.
There are two ways to enter the Sweater Week selfie competition:
- Post your photos to Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. Follow @SustainableUFV, mention @SustainableUFV in the post, and include #UFVsweaterweek2019
- Or email your photos to sustainability@ufv.ca
The themes of each day are:
- Anything Goes Monday
- Earth Tone Tuesday
- Walt Disney Wednesday
- Throwback Thursday
- Festive Friday
Making the change from summer and fall attire to a more layered and bundled approach is the best way to stay comfortable in winter and early spring weather.
You can also help by closing all windows and doors when leaving classrooms, offices, or work areas on campus. Not only will you reduce UFV’s energy use, but your classmates and colleagues will be warm and grateful.
