The 2009 update to The University of Winnipeg Academic Plan reiterates the vision, mission, and values of the University with a renewed focus on all aspects of sustainability (ecological, economic, social, cultural).
file:///C:/Users/lajoie-omalley-a/Desktop/academic-plan-update-2009.pdf
This renewed plan reflects the 2007 State of the University address that presented sustainability as a central theme for the university:
http://uwinnipeg.ca/sustainability/docs/sus-state-of-uni-speech.pdf
Environmental responsibility is also reflected in UWinnipeg's 2004-2010 Strategic Plan:
file:///C:/Users/lajoie-omalley-a/Desktop/strategicplan.pdf
excerpt from mission:
"...we provide students with breadth and depth of knowledge, the skills to communicate effectively and to make informed decisions, an understanding of the ethical problems facing our society, and an appreciation of the full range of human, aesthetic and environmental values."
The plan also includes a commitment to "Continue to make improvements to the campus that render it a more clean, safe, comfortable, welcoming, and environmentally-
responsible place." (p.21)
