The City of Richmond and the City of Vancouver are among 15 local governments joining the Canadian Circular Cities and Region Initiative’s (CCRI) Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Network.
The CCRI is a one-year national pilot developed by the National Zero Waste Council, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ Green Municipal Fund, the Recycling Council of Alberta and RECYC-QUÉBEC, to provide local governments in Canada with the knowledge and tools needed to accelerate circular economy solutions.
Participants will learn and share ideas to implement a circular economy model into their pandemic economic recovery plans, while accessing one-on-one mentoring and support from an advisory group of prominent Canadian and international leaders and practitioners.
The local governments joining the P2P Network are:
- Whitehorse, YK
- John’s, NL

Accelerating the transition to a circular economy is an opportunity for new jobs and environmental sustainability at a time when governments and communities are in critical need of both.
Learn more by joining a series of national webinars that will profile leading examples of circular economic initiatives from Canada and abroad. Webinars are open to the public and delivered in English with French simultaneous interpretation. Registration is available online.
