Excerpted from Sustainable WR's April 30th post
"Evening of Reception 2018 Recap" by Kelly McMath
"Thursday, April 12 was a big day for Sustainable Waterloo Region and the many program participants and volunteers who help make everything we do such a success.On April 12, we celebrated our 9th Evening of Recognition.The Turret at Wilfrid Laurier University was standing room only as sustainability leaders gathered to celebrate their successes and achievements, swap stories, and share learnings.That the event was held at Laurier was particularly meaningful; for 10 years, Wilfrid Laurier University has played a critical role in helping SWR and all Regional Sustainability Initiative members along. The genesis for SWR lies in an extra-credit project co-founders Mike Morrice and Chris DePaul undertook under the guidance of professor Barry Colbert, who later became Board Chair, a position he’s held ever since. Throughout the years, SWR has been grateful for the support we’ve received from Wilfrid Laurier University. The Evening of Recognition, or EOR as we like to call it, is also an amazing opportunity for team members to hear about the successes and achievements of members and partners that some of us might not otherwise get to hear. The videos and stories, networking, and conversation always leave us inspired and energized by the amazing work being done in our region."
