Vancity’s 65th Anniversary Celebration

The Speakers

It was great to be a part of Vancity’s 65th anniversary celebration at the Orpheum Theatre in November. Paul Hawken had some great insight into the world of business. He reminded us to not be afraid of making mistakes, and to not rely on ‘hope’ alone – to action our goals. Louise Schwarz of the Recycling Alternative was also on stage with Mark Brand from Save on Meats and others, talking about the Vancouver business scene. Thanks to Louise for the personal shout-out on stage, it’s great to be part of this fantastic community. Louise is championing the Green Hub in Vancouver where residents and businesses will be able to conveniently go to one location for all of their recycling needs. Anything that you can think of that can be recycled would be accepted at the Green Hub and many local jobs would be created. Mattressrecycling.ca is involved in this exciting initiative. Let’s keep Vancouver the best place in the world to live!
