Western Green Awards

The Western Green Awards were initiated to raise awareness of sustainability at Western University through the acknowledgment of community members (students, faculty, and staff) who have made positive contributions.

2022 marked our 15th anniversary of the Western Green Awards! Read about past winners and consider making a nomination this year to recognize grassroots initiatives from all members of the campus community in support of our shared sustainability goals.

The Western Green Awards recognize an individual or team that initiates or supports an activity with positive environmental outcomes, encourages participation and involvement, works together with others, groups and organizations to meet their goal, or demonstrates an environmentally friendly effort/campaign. The purpose of the award is to help raise awareness of sustainability at Western University through the acknowledgment of community members (students, faculty, and staff) who have made positive contributions. 

All members of the Western community are eligible to be nominated for a Green Award. This includes students, staff, and faculty members from Western University and affiliates. 

Nominations can come from anyone who wishes to recognize contributions to sustainability on campus by a community member or team.

2023 Green Awards nominations are open from February 1 - 24. Please email sustainability@uwo.ca with any questions.
