Sweater Dance Event

A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:

created as a way to continue the office's events in a manner that complies with provincial pandemic restrictions, this event was a online virtual dance event hosted for all 24 provincial public universities and colleges. The dance event was inspired by the "sweater day" events in the past where the temperature was turned down around the campus to raise awareness about the impact of heating on climate change. Participants were encouraged to turn down their own thermostats from 0.5 to 2 degrees and put a sweater on to stay warm during the event.
