SWRC Update: Call for Waste Minimization Awards Nominations

Do you know of someone who deserves an award for their waste reduction success? We hope so, because the SWRC is calling for nominations for our annual Saskatchewan Waste Minimization Awards.

These Awards recognize excellence in waste reduction in Saskatchewan, and are intended to promote leadership and inspire all sectors of the province to undertake waste reduction activities. We hope not only to provide well-deserved recognition, but also to highlight success stories for others to consider adopting.

There are nine nomination categories: Lifetime achievement, Individual, School/Youth, Corporation, Small Business, Non-profit Organization, Municipality, Partnership, and Festival or Event. Judging is done by the SWRC Awards Committee. There may not be an award presented in every category every year. The same organization may be nominated in more than one year, but multiple awards will not be given for the same programs/activities. The judges will consider new initiatives in subsequent years.

The deadline to submit nominations is February 14th, 2018. The 2017 Awards Ceremony will be held in conjunction with the 2018 Waste ReForum on April 19 at the Ramada Hotel in Regina. 

Thanks to SaskTel for sponsoring the awards.
