> Public Consultation Centres
> In March and April this year our team held a series of Public Consultation Centres, located in Kitchener (Region of Waterloo Museum), Waterloo (Waterloo Memorial Recreational Complex), and Cambridge (Cambridge City Hall). In total, we welcomed over 100 community members from across the Region, and received some insightful feedback that has helped us progress into the next stage of the project.

> World Water Day
> On March 22nd, we celebrated United Nations World Water Day at Wilfrid Laurier University, held in conjunction with the University of Waterloo. With this year's theme being 'wastewater', it was an excellent opportunity to speak to students about biosolids.

> Waterloo-Wellington Engineering and Science Fair
> At the invitation of one of the Project's Stakeholder Committee Members, our team also took part in this year's Waterloo-Wellington Engineering and Science Fair, held on April 4th, 2017. This is the second year that a biosolids activity was run at this event, and we had a fantastic time helping over 200 Grade 7-8 students understand how biosolids are processed and managed in the Region.
> Illustrating the Wastewater Treatment & Biosolids Management Processes in the Region
>
> Through previous public consultation, we heard from a number of elementary school teachers who requested a graphic showing the steps in the wastewater treatment and biosolids management processes in the Region. Our team worked with an illustrator to develop a poster that has been displayed at recent events, including the public consultation centres held during March and April and the Groundwater Festival held in May this year.

The evaluation committee commended the Region for its efforts to provide more education to the public and to have them involved in the process of creating its future biosolids management plan.

This Biosolids Strategy will look at the biosolids produced within the 13 Region wastewater treatment plants, consider available options and determine an appropriate strategy to manage biosolids into the future. This multi-year project will include many opportunities for community engagement. Please visit www.regionofwaterloo.ca/biosolids for more information.
