Join us to learn from Albertan trailblazers on their innovations, successes, and challenges as it relates to circular materials. Gain insight into ways they’re transforming items once considered waste into new products. From paving stones made from shingles to art made of recycled plastics, explore how you and your organization may be able to integrate these materials or technologies into your operations.

This event will be offered in a hybrid format and you may choose to attend in person at City Hall (1 Sir Winston Churchill Square, Edmonton Ab), or online via zoom. In person attendees will also have the opportunity to network with other members and enjoy some light refreshments from The Hallway Cafe.
