Make a positive impact toward a cause that you are passionate about.
At TRU, we are committed to cultivating changes with far reaching impacts. We invite you to learn more about how TRU is working toward a sustainable future and how you can be a champion of change. Choose your cause.
Support a sustainable, net-zero future. TRU’s Low-Carbon District Energy System will replace natural gas boilers with low-carbon energy and is expected to offset over 100,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over 30 years — the equivalent to planting a 4,000-acre forest, approximately 16 times the size of TRU’s Kamloops campus.
Support wildfire research, training, education and innovation. The frequency and severity of fires and smoke is expected to increase, especially as climate change continues to impact our planet. It’s critical we find new ways to prevent, prepare for and manage wildfires. The work undertaken by TRU Wildfire has real-world impact for all Canadians.
The Indigenous Education Centre (IEC) at TRU, designed in partnership with Tk'emlups te Secwépemc and led by Indigenous architect Patrick Stewart, will be a dedicated space that honours Secwépemc ways of knowing and being.
