The Canadian Waste to Resource Conference (CWRC) is honoured to have Ontario Environmental Commissioner (ECO) Dr. Dianne Saxe as the keynote luncheon speaker for this year’s event, to be held in conjunction with Waste and Recycling Expo Canada (CWRE) and the Municipal Equipment Expo, at the Scotiabank Centre in Niagara Falls on October 25 and 26.
“We are extremely pleased to have Dr. Saxe as the keynote luncheon speaker for the upcoming CWRC,” said Michele Goulding, Conference Manager and Ontario Waste Management Association (OWMA) Director of Finance and Membership Services. “Her extensive knowledge of important and relevant industry issues will no doubt be appreciated by all of those who are attending.”
Saxe was a popular guest at the Ontario Waste Management Association’s Annual General Meeting and Conference earlier in 2017. Her expertise of environmental issues which affect the waste management sector were well received by the numerous attendees, who represented numerous sectors, organizations and professions within the industry.
Her comprehensive and engaging presentations deliver essential insight into the most important environmental developments in Ontario.
Saxe has earned a well-respected reputation for being a tough but fair watchdog over the province’s environmental, energy and climate performance, and guardian of the Environmental Bill of Rights, 1993 (EBR).
Prior to her appointment, Saxe was one of Canada’s highest profile environmental lawyers. She has 40 years of vast experience in writing, interpreting, and litigating Ontario’s energy and environmental laws.
Saxe’s career began with the Ontario Public Service and two major Bay Street law firms. She then established one of the country’s top environmental law boutiques.
