EDUCATING CANADIANS ABOUT THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Powered by Circular Innovation Council, Circular Economy Month is Canada’s public awareness campaign dedicated to educating and empowering Canadians to support an economy that delivers on the most important values of Canadians: protecting the planet and prioritizing people.

During October, we invite individuals, governments, organizations, and schools across Canada to learn about the circular economy, celebrate our individual and collective efforts, embrace circular solutions, and encourage others to take action.
