CENTRE NEWS

• Solid Waste Training Needs Survey Report Available
  
  In late 2008, the EWMCE conducted a survey of solid waste personnel in Alberta (and beyond) in order to determine priority training needs for the solid waste industry. Valuable information was gained from the survey responses, and this will be used to help the Centre plan and develop training modules for the solid waste sector. A brief summary of the survey results is now available.
  
  Stay tuned in the coming year for information about upcoming solid waste courses.
