The summer, 2009 issue returns our focus to the timeliest of topics – the greening of municipalities. Our comprehensive special report includes:

• the latest updates on waste – of the electronic and household hazardous variety
• an explanation of the new Waste Reduction and Recycling Support (WRARS) levy
• programs for municipalities, including the Green Municipal Fund (GMF) and Community Led Emissions Reduction (CLER)
• a look at Manitoba Hydro Place
• a profile of a community on the cutting edge of rooftop technology
• how to determine whether reusing your heritage building is the “greener” choice
• And much more!

But that’s not all. We also have a profile of our 2009 Municipal Excellence Award co-winners, a pictorial re-cap of Lobby Days, MOS and Mayors, Reeves and CAOs meetings, an update on our El Salvador partnership, and a thorough explanation of the 2010 reassessment.
