SFU Archaeology Stands With Ukraine

March 09, 2022

The Department of Archaeology has partnered with the Canadian Red Cross and the United Nations Refugee Agency for two unique fundraising campaigns to help Ukraine.

We encourage all members of our department to donate to one or both of these agencies. All funds go directly to the source organizations, and you will receive a charity tax receipt. Please feel free to share this with people you know who might be trying to figure out how to help!

The Department of Archaeology is also accepting donated supplies which will be handed over to local organizations to be provided to refugees entering BC. Please bring them to the Archaeology Office at SFU Burnaby - EDB 9635. The closest access is via the North parking lot.
