Evening of Recognition 2016
Last Thursday, Sustainable Waterloo Region hosted its annual Evening of Recognition, an event congratulating partnering organizations and individuals who are striving to reduce their carbon emissions while increasing awareness about environmental sustainability. The theme of the evening was the Past, the Present and the Future – aiming to highlight progress thus far and the steps being taken for a greener future!
With over 300 guests registered, it was a full house! The evening was a success, thanks to community members coming together to recognize the green efforts of our partners.
Awards were made from repurposed material keeping with the theme of sustainability and minimizing waste (waste contributes to 1% of our Region’s carbon emissions!)

In the words of Waterloo Regional Chair, Ken Seiling from his speech of the evening,
The future is brave.
There has been immense development in our community as recognized by Sustainable Waterloo Region last week. This would not be possible without the cooperation from partners and the help of volunteers. The collaboration of hundreds of community members has allowed to make a positive impact on the environment – an initiative that is only expected to grow in the future.
