In response to the growing concern surrounding the school's environmental impact and outlook, Shawnigan's first environmental council has formed. The Sustainability Council was established with the sole goal of protecting our community's environment and advancing our school's sustainability goals. Having strong environmental goals and achievable green objectives establishes us as role models amongst other esteemed educational institutions.

The council is organized into four subgroups that have independent focuses involving issues surrounding sustainability at our school. The four current focuses are reducing waste, waste sorting, reusables, and energy usage. The council will continue to work on and accomplish our outlined focuses through a close working relationship with the 360 Eco-Ninjas and with the continued support from our student body and faculty. Only we can create a sustainable future for our campus, our community, and our planet.
