Hear from our Members
I personally really enjoyed the in-person facility tours at the Toronto Zoo and Seneca College. They provided great opportunities to not only expand my knowledge, but also to connect more with the CEC members. Specifically, at the Seneca tour I learned more about how other organizations gather, manage, and analyze their waste data. – Emma Wosik, TELUS
The Circular Economy Consortium provides a wonderful opportunity to share best practices, learn about new systems/technologies, and network with professionals in multiple sectors. – Lisa Vanlint, University Health Network
Wilfrid Laurier University has built momentum towards long-term Zero Waste Laurier through our interactions gained from the Circular Economy Consortium. We look forward to helping grow the institutional membership for the CEC with an aim to pursue collective action opportunities. – Eric Meliton, Wilfrid Laurier University
My experience in the CEC program has been very good. I’ve learned so much from the cohort and the PPG team. The CEC Procurement 2 day work shop was fantastic! – Chris Dunn, Ontario Creates | Ontario Green Screen
The roundtable discussions and the open/safe environment to share our challenges were very appreciated. The facilities tours and networking events were great, I had many educational and inspiring conversations. – Narishdath Maraj, Toronto Metropolitan University
