Tree Ottawa is excited to announce that our organization will be an exhibitor at the "Waste Reduction Week Eco-Fair" in Ottawa. The Eco-Fair will take place at The Community Information Centre of Ottawa (347 Preston St) on Thursday, October 22nd from 12pm to 1:30pm in the Main Lobby.
Waste Reduction Week takes place the third week of October in communities all across Canada. The goal of Waste Reduction Week is to encourage all Canadians to reduce waste and save resources using the six R's: “Rethink, Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair and Recycle”.
Tree Ottawa will be set up at the Eco-Fair promoting our million tree initiative and hoping to educate and inform the public about the damage being done to Ottawa’s tree canopy. Please come out and show your support for Tree Ottawa and Ecology Ottawa during Waste Reduction Week.
