On October 22nd, BEA members Polly and Chaya attended the Litter Reduction Charter Launch in the City Hall Conservatory. Ruth and Christina also attended from Heart Lake Turtle Troopers. There was an opportunity to meet with many of the dignitaries who attended including, Commissioner Bill Boyes, Wards 1&5 Councillor Rowena Santos, Wards 2&6 Councillor Navjit Kaur Brar, and Wards 9&10 Councillor Gurpartap Singh Toor.

Those who visited the BEA table were interested and engaged in Brampton’s environmental issues, particularly the Emerald Energy from Waste expansion proposal and Brampton’s Mobility Plan that focuses on Sustainable Transportation including, walking, cycling, transit and other micro mobility options such as e-bikes and e-scooters. All in all it was a good event for the BEA.
