The Canadian Centre for Pollution Prevention (C2P2, Suite 134) is relatively new to the Robertson Building community having joined the collaborative co-located group at the Centre for Social Innovation (Suite 120) late last fall. Established in 1992 by Environment Canada, C2P2 has been providing programs and services that encourage actions to avoid or minimize the creation of pollution and waste – pollution prevention (P2) – as well as actions that foster a healthier environment and a sustainable society.
The new office at 215 Spadina marks the continued growth of this instrumental organization, which also has an office in Sarnia. Executive Director Chris Wolnik and Projects Officer Kady Cowan will focus on and expand national projects by sharing knowledge, tools and innovative thinking with business, governments, academia, individuals and organizations in order to catalyze behavioural change leading to more sustainable practices.
C2P2 are busy preparing for their 10th Canadian Prevention Roundtable on June 14 - 15 in Halifax. The event brings together the strongest pool of Canadian pollution prevention expertise to discuss future directions. Watch our pages for information on upcoming events.
