Metro Vancouver Regional Forums on Waste Management (Sep 15 and 16th)
Even though I have been focusing a large part of my research agenda on wastewater (and lately, drinking water and groundwater), my interest in solid waste management and hazardous waste policy has never waned. Therefore, I will be participating in the Metro Vancouver Regional Forums on Waste Management. Today is the Vancouver one, and I will be there (11:30am to 2:00pm, at the Morris Wosk Centre for Dialogue, SFU, Downtown Vancouver on West Hastings). The registration for today’s forum is closed already, but there is space in other locations, as indicated by the Metro Vancouver website. If you are interested in waste management issues, landfills, waste-to-energy processes, this is the event you should attend. If you live in the Metro Vancouver area, perhaps the New Westminster location will be the best for you. Of course, you can attend at any of the other locations that you find accessible.
Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2009, New Westminster, 12 noon to 2:00pm, (registration and lunch at 11:30am)
Fraser River Discovery Centre, 788 Quayside Dr., New Westminster
If you would like to meet up with me, I’ll be at the Vancouver one from 11:30am to 2:00pm (probably will be lingering for just a few minutes as I have another meeting at 3pm in the Yaletown area).

I find it very strange that all the sessions are during the workday! Makes it very difficult for people to attend. I’ve heard some interest from local New West residents, for example, but they can’t make a 12-2pm meeting without missing work.
I think it’s because people at Metro Vancouver work office hours. Thus, they won’t want to put together events outside THEIR work hours. That’s my hypothesis, don’t quote me on that! I have to ask Heather.
