Date / Time: September 29, 2022, 3:00-4:30pm Pacific Time (90 minutes)
Location: Vancouver Convention Centre (VCC)
Organizers: Circular Economy Leadership Canada & Smart Prosperity Institute
Description:
Canada is a unique country – rich in resources, low in population density, and diverse in geography and cultures. Likewise, Canada needs a unique approach to advancing its circular economy. What considerations and form should a circular economy strategy for Canada’s take (e.g., a roadmap, an action plan, a lens over existing strategies)? Who should own it and how should it be best implemented and/or integrated alongside existing government and/or sector strategies and plans?
Provide your feedback on these questions and help shape Canada’s path to a circular economy as part of this 90 minute, in-person workshop taking place September 29, 2022, on Day two of the Zero Waste Conference in Vancouver. The workshop is being organized and co-hosted by Circular Economy Leadership Canada (CELC) and Smart Prosperity Institute (SPI).
