About this Event
Every year we take the time to reflect on the data, numbers and subsequent actions of the prior year that make up the whole of our network - the seeds, roots, trees and leaves of our forest. This April, Sustainable Waterloo Region is inviting you to take a moment, sit in the shade with us, and take a look at the beautiful forest that we are planting and tending together at our Evening of Recognition.
The evening will be full of networking opportunities, live music, food, drink and more! Of course, we will also be presenting awards to sustainability leaders of the region, the individuals and organizations who have gone above and beyond to implement sustainability projects, strategies and movements.
Everyone is welcome to join, however space is limited so register soon!
Looking forward to seeing you there.
