| The
Composting Council of Canada's conference is the premier conference
for the composting community and industry in Canada. It attracts delegates
from all across Canada as well as the United States and abroad. The delegates
come from a variety of backgrounds including government (municipal, provincial
& federal), industry (waste generators and facility operators), academic
and consultants. The conference serves the valuable role of updating the
composting community on current industry developments ranging from diversion
and market opportunities, applied research, processing improvements, technological
and community developments. |
