With upwards of 500 participants in Vancouver and 200 participants in Toronto, the response to the 2016 conference was very positive. With a theme of Innovation – Innovation in Policy and Innovation in Practice – the 2016 Zero Waste Conference sparked a national conversation on how to eliminate waste and develop a circular economy in Canada giving all in attendance a deeper understanding of the opportunities and benefits on our journey to a future without waste. Furthering this conversation depends on your active participation as a conference attendee, so we hope you will join us this year.
