On October 17th, the First Nations Waste Minimization team was excited to host our 4th Waste
Coordinator Meetup. Waste Management staff from eleven different First Nations were present
at the event, which piggybacked off of the MARR Manitoba Community Recycling & Waste
Reduction Forum held on October 15th/16th at Canad Inns Polo Park.
The Waste Coordinator 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 with recycling, this opportunity is especially
important for understanding the process of implementing recycling in their communities for the
first time.
