Celebrate World Bee Day with BCIT
May 20 from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm PDT
Did you know that the Burnaby BCIT Campus is home to 27,000 bees? Our campus beehives, along with pollinator-friendly trees, shrubs, perennials, and ground covers are one way that BCIT supports sustainability and enhances natural spaces on campus.
On World Bee Day we’re celebrating these powerful pollinators with a special event.
12:30 – 1:30 pm: Learn more about pollinators and their role at BCIT. We will be building solitary bee habitats out of logs harvested from BCIT projects, and making bat boxes to be installed on campus.
- Location: Townsquare D
1:30 – 2:30 pm: Join us on a walk to the south end of campus to learn more about rewilded and restored areas of BCIT that support pollinators.
- Starting from Townsquare D
Join us for one or both of these activities. If you are only joining us for the walk please make sure to arrive at Town Square D by 1:30. Please help us out by registering, so we have enough supplies for everyone to take part in the activity. You can also register for just the walk.
