CUCCR
CUCCR (pronounced “sucker”) is a Concordia wide initiative that collects and diverts usable materials from the university waste-stream, making them available to the Concordia Community in one central location: Hall Building H 013-7. Students, faculty, and community organizations can access these materials at no cost, reducing material budgets and initiating awareness and action about the environmental impact of consumption and waste.

Sustainable Resource Library
The Sustainable Concordia Resource Centre is a free library that is committed to fulfilling the Sustainable Concordia mandate, which aims to promote ecological health, social justice, and economic equality. Located on the 3rd floor of the Z-Annex (2090 Mackay St.), library membership is free of charge and open to everyone, including those who are not students at Concordia. All you have to do is fill out a membership form located in the library! (Currently closed due to renovations at the Z-Annex).

Concordia Co-op Bookstore
The Concordia Community Solidarity Co-op Bookstore is a not-for-profit alternative to corporate bookstores, located right on Concordia’s downtown campus at 2150 Bishop St. Offering both new and used books, they also offer a wide selection of gifts including t-shirts, bags, greeting cards and more.

Le Frigo Vert
The Frigo Vert is a collectively run, not-for-profit health food store located at 1440 Mackay St. With a mandate to address student poverty and food security, it offers natural and organic food, home and body products on the cheap. Along with bulk food, fresh produce, and other groceries, Le Frigo Vert sells 50¢ coffee, 60¢ samosas, and other affordable lunch items and snacks. Almost everything in the store is vegan, and there are always some gluten-free food options available.
