Sustainable Holiday Market
November 21
The Holiday Market is a fun, inclusive event open to UFV employees, students, and the broader community. There will be live music, interactive games, and a raffle, and UFV’s Office of Sustainability will host a sustainable gift-wrapping workshop table to encourage gift-wrapping with re-usable and/or upcycled materials.Our intention with this sustainable holiday market is to provide UFV students, employees and community members with an opportunity to kickstart their holiday shopping while supporting thoughtfully selected local vendors who share our vision for social and environmental sustainability. We would like to encourage more responsible forms of consumption amid large corporations offering black Friday, cyber Monday deals and same day shipping.
Proceeds from this market will go entirely to the UFV Student Emergency Fund and the Student Food Bank.
