When he came to UVic from his hometown of Fernie, BC, Michael Traverse literally didn’t find his footing right away. To begin with, he broke his leg at the start of his first year.
Then he had to decide between arts, sciences, theatre, business…. The options were enticing. But once he got his feet under him, there was no stopping him.
On March 21 downtown Victoria’s Sauce Restaurant and Lounge was the site for the second annual Carrot Mob, organized by UVic’s Business Sustainability Club and dedicated to helping
local businesses become more sustainable. The day of business generated $9,084 that went into a fund to help the restaurant become a greener community member.
