Even though this story happened some time ago, I believe it still inspires and shows how the whole community can work together to make a difference. The story really represents the philosophy behind Strathcona Business Improvement Association. It captures the creation of Zero Waste Challenge and Resource Park project and how the association uses commercial waste as a community resource. I hope you will enjoy it, and hopefully - get inspired.
