CORNWALL, Ontario – Transition Cornwall+, an organization dedicated to finding and implementing sustainable practices and programs in Cornwall, was recently recognized for their efforts with a 2019 Sustainability Star.
The Sustainability Stars were created in 2017 to recognize businesses and other organizations who were making efforts towards a more sustainable world. The award was created and is bestowed by Sustainable Eastern Ontario, a network of 350 groups from across Eastern Ontario dedicated to finding environmentally friendly solutions to the world’s problems.
“We were surprised to learn about the Sustainability Star Award” said Lynn Macdonell, Steering Committee Member for Transition Cornwall + who will be receiving the award. “Resiliency and environmental sustainability are central to TC+, and it is so humbling and rewarding to have our work recognized and celebrated with the larger Ontario community.”
For more than 10 years, Transition Cornwall+ has been a strong advocate of initiatives such as sustainable foods, cycling, planting trees, and waste reduction, all with the goal of helping Cornwall do its part to fight the climate emergency.
