Hero for Zero

Overview

TRU’s cutting-edge Low-Carbon District Energy System (LCDES) and Sustainability Powerhouse is the most ambitious energy project in TRU’s history, a marvel of modern engineering located in the heart of the Kamloops campus. The LCDES replaces our old natural gas boilers with a sustainable electrical heating source, making our campus greener than ever by offsetting over 100,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions over the next 30 years— this is like planting a 4,000-acre forest, a space 16 times larger than our own campus.

Name a letter on the Poetry Wall

For a gift of $1,000, you can choose a letter on the poetry wall—a beautiful installation in the Sustainability Powerhouse inspired by the words of Chief Dan George:

"The beauty of the trees,
The softness of the air,
The fragrance of the grass
Speaks to me...
And my heart soars."

Your chosen letter will feature your name or custom engraving, symbolizing your commitment to our planet's future.
