Again this year universities and colleges in Atlantic Canada will compete to raise awareness about climate change and reduce energy consumption on their campuses. The C3 Challenge began in 2008 at Mount Allison University and in 2010 spread to other maritime campuses. This student-run competition involves a variety of fun events and activities designed to engage students and reduce energy. Events such as fastest shower, residence energy reduction competition, photo challenge and sweater fashion show help raise awareness and involve actions that make a difference on each campus. The C3 challenge is open to any Atlantic Canada campus. Visit http://www.mta.ca/c3/competition.html to learn more about the program.
