Be a Hero for Zero

Join TRU and be a green energy champion. With your support, TRU will become the first zero-carbon university in Canada. By investing in the Low-Carbon District Energy System project, you contribute to TRU's goal of achieving zero carbon by 2030. Your participation will make a lasting impact on the environment, setting an example for sustainable practices in post-secondary education and beyond.

TRU’s zero-carbon pledge isn’t just a promise — it’s a call to action, and we want you to be at the forefront of this transformation. Be the difference. Be the solution. Be a hero for zero.

Make a gift and 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 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, proudly displayed in the TRU Sustainability office in the centrally-located building that will house the Low-Carbon District Energy System.

Your $1,000 gift can be paid all at once or in 12 installations of $84/ month, through our online form or by calling 250-828-5264. When payment is received, you will get a link to a form where you can select your preference of letter and share your choice of engraving.
