SUMMARY:A Toy Story: Lessons in Finding Joy in Reuse and Repair / Single Event Registration
DESCRIPTION:A Virtual Bonus Event as part of 2025 Conference!\nNote: We are cleverly using 1995 movies as thematic elements to add nostalgia and personality to our sessions.  \n1995 Movie Panel Theme: A Toy Story\nThe entire premise revolves around toys finding new purpose and meaning as they’re passed between children. Woody and Buzz don’t become worthless when Andy outgrows them – they discover renewed joy with Bonnie. This mirrors how we can extend the life of objects by reusing or finding new uses for them. Let’s learn from those who are redefining our relationship with objects to be based on care\, creativity\, and community rather than constant replacement. \n\n– SPEAKERS – \nJason Hawkins\, Reusables.com\nRosemary Cooper\, Share Reuse Repair\nKevin Pennock\, KORE Outdoors\nChris Diplock\, Thingery\nWith Moderator\, Tamara Shulman \, Tamara Shulman & Associates \n\n– COST –\n$30 | CWMA Members & Friends \n+GST.  We grateful for your attendance.

SUMMARY:30th Anniversary Celebration Reception

The goal was clear: to unite\, discuss\, and inspire innovative solutions for solid waste management\, particularly addressing the unique challenges of our coastal regions. \nOver the past three decades\, thanks to the leadership and commitment  of our board members\, staff\, members\, and friends of CWMA\, we have blossomed from a vital local initiative into a respected province-wide movement with our roots still firmly in our coastal beginnings. \nAs a community\, we have all worked together to create a legacy of solutions and a future of possibilities and eagerly anticipating celebrating with everyone! \nFurther details regarding the whole 2025 CWMA Conference can be found on our Conference Website. \n\n– COST –\n$30 +GST \nNOTE: This reception event is already included for delegates attending the full in-person conference and the Wednesday-only in-person option. Don’t pay twice! \nCWMA’s operations are supported wholly by events like these\, dedicated patronage from sponsors\, and our membership. We are grateful for your attendance.
