Back by popular demand: The Free Store is back this October for Sustainability Month!

UNB Sustainability is excited to relaunch this highly anticipated initiative, offering students, faculty, and staff a chance to recirculate usable goods. Every single item is free of charge.

Throughout October, both campuses will be hosting Free Store events.

Ganong Hall Gallery
Oct. 23 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Oct. 30 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

We invite you to donate gently used items such as clothing, kitchenware, décor, and entertainment items or stop by to shop at no cost. By accepting unwanted items and redistributing them within our campus network, this initiative reduces landfill waste and actively supports a circular economy model here at UNB.

Please note that donations will only be accepted during store hours.

While creating a vision board for her work-study position as an Indigenous Youth Coordinator at the University of New Brunswick, Kaitlyn Pelletier didn't know exactly what project she wanted to pursue. One image, however, kept coming back to her: a birchbark canoe. A member of Madawaska Maliseet First Nation, Pelletier soon discovered that curiosity was leading her toward a much larger journey.

Now, Pelletier is building a traditional birchbark canoe while learning from Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and experienced canoe builders from New Brunswick and Maine.

In a recent Q&A, she shared what inspired the project, what she's learned so far, and what she hopes its legacy will be. Read it here ➡️ https://bit.ly/4ytN9dG

Through our Student Accessibility Centres, students can access a range of services, accommodations, and supports designed to help them succeed throughout their academic journey.
