Waterloo region is home to so many incredible organizations, innovations,
and solutions that are leading toward our stronger, more prosperous
future. Please join us in celebrating all of them and thanking them for the
work they are doing, creating culture and driving these incredible numbers. Each year we celebrate sustainability with our Evening of Recognition, recapping and recognizing the achievements of our members with our sustainability awards and the launch of our Year-End Report. This year we did what we do best – adapted!
Our team went back to the drawing board. We originally had Mike Farwell of 570 News on board to help host our in-person event, and when things changed Mike was generous to help us tell our stories. For one week in June, every morning Mike had Tova Davidson, our Executive Director, and guests live on the air to share their sustainability journeys. Topics included highlighting the accomplishments of our programs and award winning organizations in the region and how we can build towards a more prosperous region in 2020 and beyond. Read on (and listen on) to learn more about this incredible year
