What are the Ecogames?
This fun program consists of a series of challenges, each of which earns you a gold (5 points), silver (3 points), or bronze (1 point) medal. When you win a medal, it counts toward the total points for your Neighbourhood Group! It’s open to all church members, friends, visitors, and staff.
We are also excited to announce that Vancity Credit Union is now a sponsor of the EcoGames!

Why the Ecogames?
While many of us wait impatiently for governments and corporations to take action on the climate and ecological emergency, we as individuals can take action now. A recent study shows that, “Through their consumption behavior, households are responsible for 72% of global greenhouse gas emissions.” We can demonstrate to our leaders that we are ready to take action.
