The Biosphere Institute of the Bow Valley will expand its work to drive the Bow Valley's circular economy. They collaborate with municipalities, tourism and hospitality associations, businesses and event organizers as they expand their reusable cup program. They will bring this program to Canmore, create a Canmore "Library of things" based on Banff's successful model, deliver "Share and Repair Fairs" in Canmore, Banff, Exshaw, and Mni Thni and leverage their prior "towards zero waste" successes to develop and deliver "Reduce, Re-use, and Recycle Roadmap" to event organizers, bringing circular economy practices into large community events.
