Welcome to Warm Woolies Week! It’s a cold one out there. On a positive note, we will have already pulled out our sweaters and be ready for next Monday when UFV turns down the heat in an effort to raise awareness about ways to address climate change … Welcome to Sweater Week!
WHEN: February 11 – 15, 2019
Sweater Week is happening from February 11-15 at the Abbotsford and CEP campuses. Temperatures will be slightly lowered in most spaces in an effort to reduce climate-changing carbon emissions. Sweater Week is a demonstration that you can be comfortable even with small reductions in indoor temperatures by layering up and dressing for the winter season. So, bundle up in your coziest sweater, enter the contests, and have fun being energy efficient! When we all come together and make small adjustments in our lifestyles, the results of our combined efforts can make a significant impact.
As a bonus way to reduce UFV’s energy use and help keep classmates and colleagues comfortable during cold weather, please close all windows and doors when leaving classrooms, offices or work areas on campus.
