20 Years & Counting !
As
we embark towards the year ahead, our plans begin to unfold for
our 20th Anniversary Celebrations!
In 1990, when the idea of a nation-wide
organization devoted exclusively to organics residuals recovery
and compost utilization was just a twinkle in the eyes of many of
you, who would have envisioned the journey that you and we have
undertaken to stand up for what we believe in ---- the conservation
of natural resources that mean our earth to us!
Since then, through you and your
compost colleagues' support, the awareness and development of compost
infrastructure has been built across Canada. And we have been proud
of our Council's ability to support you along the way.
Regulations have
developed, compost operator training
& certification have been created,
public and industry
awareness programs have evolved, standards
for compost and compostable
materials have been introduced and a protocol for compost's positive
impact on greenhouse
gas emissions is underway. And each year, our collective
knowledge base has grown, thanks to each of your efforts and initiatives.
Compost Council of Canada members
are well known for their partying (and hard work) abilities. Some
of the specific dates to mark in your calendar are as follows:
National
Compost Week (our 15th !) … May 2 - 9, 2010
National
Compost Conference (the big 20 !) … to be held
in
our National Capital, Ottawa, from September 22 - 24, 2010
Thanks for your support. Let
the COMPOST PARTY! begin.
