Canadian Mennonite University is unveiling a new "district geothermal energy system" — a first on a post-secondary campus in Manitoba — this weekend.

The project is estimated to cost $8.4 million.
CMU launches first-of-its-kind district geothermal energy system
On Saturday, September 20 at 2:00 PM, Canadian Mennonite University will launch the new academic year with a celebration of the first district geothermal energy system at a Manitoba post-secondary education institution.
"As we welcome our students and community back to campus, I am proud to showcase this important milestone in our efforts to build a more sustainable future," said Dr. Cheryl Pauls, CMU President. "Poettcker Hall is just the first of many buildings we will connect to the district geothermal system on our journey to a net zero campus."
Advancing reconciliation through storytelling
"I have always been a storyteller," says Ben Borne over a Zoom call from his home in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. "And what I'm really good at is bringing people together."
Since graduating from CMU with a Bachelor of Arts in 2013, Borne's various endeavors and accomplishments—which are far too innumerable to list but include podcast host and founding his own Public relations firm—all share that similar theme: storytelling.
