Message from the Executive Manager
 
jerry22
Having been 'off the air' for a few months it is great to be restarting regular publication of EWMCE's E-news. In case you are wondering, our silence was due to some staffing changes and other demands on peoples' time, rather than a lack of anything to report!
 
We are very pleased to welcome the following onto the Centre's staff:  Ms. Pamela Boylan (Office Manger, Gold Bar), Ms. Kimberly Schribar (Marketing and Communications), and Dr. Kathleen Londry (Research Program Manager). These additions give us a complete, highly qualified, and experienced team that will continue to build a unique organization.

A recent event of great relevance to the Centre was the transfer in April of the Gold Bar Waste Water Treatment Plant - where we occupy the Research and Training Facility - from the City of Edmonton to EPCOR. From the Centre's point of view this means that our 'wastewater landlord' has simply changed from one of our partners to another.
 
Inevitably, there will be some operational and administrative changes as a result of the transfer but, overall, it has been business as usual and we look forward to a strengthened relationship with EPCOR.

In the meantime, there have been significant developments in all the Centre's Program areas, a new five-year strategic business plan was prepared and approved by our Board of Directors, and the Centre was awarded the Edmonton Economic Development Corporation's 2009 Image Award.  We have also freshened up our website, created a new Centre brochure, and completed our 2008/09 Annual Report.  2009-10 is already shaping up to be another year of exciting developments.
        
Regards,
 
Dr. JerryLeonard

This past April, the Edmonton Waste Management Centre of Excellence was honoured at the 14th annual Edmonton Economic Development Corporation (EEDC) luncheon. The Centre was awarded with the very prestigious 2009 Image Award.
 
The luncheon was held at the Shaw Conference Centre in Edmonton, Alberta. It was a sold out audience of more than 1,100 business and political leaders.  Attendees at Edmonton's largest business luncheon also heard from renowned futurist Jeff Wacker, the event's Keynote Speaker, about the critical relationship between the economy and the environment as we build for the future economy. Wacker is Director of Strategy for Electronic Data Systems (EDS) and a long-time professional member of the World Futurist Society.
