Environmental Protection supports the mission of the VPFO and the UBC campus as a whole by providing technical and regulatory expertise to faculty and staff on how to best manage their activities to ensure compliance with environmental laws and stewardship goals.
“We partner with research, operations and construction teams to identify and mitigate environmental risks,” notes Jamiann Questa, Director, Environmental Protection. “We work to align campus work practices with UBC’s Policy #6 Environmental Protection Compliance”
Our team may have recently guided you or your clients through a Ministry of Environment inspection, an environmental audit, a spill response effort, pollution prevention planning, or the proper disposal of your hazardous waste.
