Does the institution have signage that highlights sustainability features on campus?:
A brief description of the signage that highlights sustainability features on campus:
The main parking lot on the Castlegar campus includes bioswales, which capture, treat and redirect stormwater runoff before it enters the neighboring Columbia River. At the entrance to this parking lot, there is interpretive signage which explains how the bioswale installation works and how it is mitigating negative impacts on the surrounding environment.
Castlegar campus has an extensive trail system that includes signage identifying geographical features.
Does the institution provide a sustainability walking map or tour?:
A brief description of the sustainability walking map or tour:
Sustainable Selkirk's Story Map shows where students can find recycling and composting bins, water fountains and bicycle racks. It also shows the location of other sustainability projects, such as the bioswale installation. Having this map available online, instead of in print form, was a conscious choice to reduce our paper use.
