Exhibition Place is honoured to receive RCO’s Platinum award for outstanding achievement through its GREENSmart program.
The Recycling Council of Ontario honours those who demonstrate excellence and leadership in the creation of waste reduction/diversion initiatives.
The Awards are integrated into the celebration of Waste Reduction Week in Canada, October 18-22, 2010, where communities across the country are encouraged to promote the 3R’s principles.
The Waste Minimization Awards ceremony took place on October 21, 2010 and recognizes provincial waste diversion champions in business, municipalities, institutions, education, not-for-profit, the media, as well as individuals.
Dianne Young, CEO of Exhibition Place in accepting the award recognized the commitment of Exhibition Place staff, “This award really belongs to the staff at Exhibition Place - it is only because of their dedication that Exhibition Place has been able to achieve an 80% waste diversion rate.”
Exhibition Place’s GREENSmart Program was established in 2004, and incorporates a number of environmental initiatives which reflect our goal of environmental responsibility and leadership with respect to sustainability, energy production and waste reduction.
