Sustainable Spirit: Your Guide to a Greener Homecoming!

There’s something special about Homecoming weekend at Queen’s. Whether you’re showing off your tricolour spirit, reconnecting as an alum, or just soaking in the energy on campus, it’s a time to celebrate community, pride, and tradition.

At QFSF, we know that fashion is a big part of the celebration - from vintage alumni jackets, to DIYs and tricolour outfits. While there’s often pressure to buy something new for the weekend, Homecoming is a great reminder that school pride and sustainability can go hand in hand.

Here are a few easy ways to keep your Homecoming looks green this year:

• Re-wear with pride: That piece you loved last year? Bring it back - I promise, no one remembers what you wore last Homecoming.

• DIY the details: Give your old pieces new life! Crop a tee, add ribbons, or patch it with tricolour fabric. Even a few small tweaks can make something feel brand new.

• Share and swap: Trade Queen’s merch with friends or roommates to give your look a fresh twist, no spending required.

Homecoming is about connection to our school, to each other, and to the values that bring us together. By choosing sustainable options, we can celebrate that spirit while caring for the planet we share. From all of us at QFSF, happy Homecoming!
