FNWM Team hosts its 3rd Waste Coordinator Meetup!
On October 18, the First Nations Waste Minimization team was very pleased to host our 3rd ever Waste Coordinator Meetup. Eleven waste coordinators from eleven different First Nations were present at the event, as well as several Band Councilors. The meetup piggybacked off of the MARR Manitoba Community Recycling & Waste Reduction Forum (October 16/17), which the coordinators also attended.
The meetup presents an opportunity for waste coordinators from different First Nations to come together and discuss highlights, challenges, best practices, and networking. For communities just starting out, this opportunity is especially important for understanding the process of implementing recycling in their communities for the first time.
The event was very successful, with our team receiving positive feedback from attendees as well as the councilors that were present. We would like to thank all the waste coordinators for staying an extra day, and participating in our group discussions and activities. The input we receive is worth more than its weight in gold!
