Recycling Revisited - Development Committee
(Community Development Halton, Volunteer Halton)
| |||
| Opportunity Details | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Comments | We are a registered non-profit, started in 2012, with deep roots in the startup of recycling in Canada in the 1970s. Our name was Citizens' Committee for Pollution Control (1970-83) when there was no city in the country with a municipal recycling program. With 1,000 volunteer citizens, we ran a city-wide multi-material recycling program and inspired the City of Burlington to be the first city in Canada to hire a contractor for a municipal recycling program. We are still concerned about recycling issues as well as many other environmental concerns. | ||

| Duties | The Development Committee interacts with the Board: brainstorming, making creative suggestions, and collaborating with several Action Groups that are the "front line" of the organization. In general, we need people with a commitment to the natural world and willingness to collaborate with a group to apply that commitment in action. 1. Attending and participating in a biweekly Zoom meeting of the Development Committee, usually on a Tuesday evening, from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. 2. Brainstorming and engaging in creative, imaginative thinking with a diverse group. 3. As much as possible, following up between meetings to report relevant information or ideas for the following meeting. We welcome and value a few high school students, but we need a majority of adults. We respect that the students must put their academics first, which usually results in losing students at some time in the year. | ||
