We’ve come a long way from the media training and style consulting firm from which we began. Our beginnings were as a scrappy startup; now we inhabit two floors in a heritage building, have a team of ten working on some really exciting and important files, and we work every day knowing we are helping make the world better. We feel so grateful to have been able to spend the past ten years partnering with like-minded organizations to create positive change on issues that matter to Canadians. Ten years felt like an important milestone to us, so we wanted to celebrate. The Ten Acts of Tenacity campaign was a series of ten actions that gave thanks to the Ottawa community by supporting local organizations, hosting events, honouring community changemakers, and providing donations to organizations that deserve support.

By Eugenie Waters Ottawa Reduces Just one little garbage bag of landfill-destined waste was generated at the Skating Party and Chili Cook- off! Ottawa Reduces worked together with the Manor Park Community Council (MPCC) to help make this year’s Skating Party ultra low-waste. A number of small changes made a big impact! Residents were invited to B.Y.O (Bring Your Own) dishes. The MPCC provided reusable drink- ing glasses at the water refill station. Fully compostable and green-bin friendly food containers were used for chili and hot dogs. No "compostable" or "biode- gradable" plastics! Ottawa Reduc- es provided over 100 spoons from their reusable dishware loaner kit. And, working with MPCC staff, waste stations were moni- tored to help everyone get their waste into the right bin! It is such a victory to have a well-attended, fun and magi- cal event, while minimizing waste and single-use plastics. Congratula- tions Manor Park! Ottawa Reduces is a new community initiative that encourages local businesses and indi- viduals to practice waste reduction together. Their primary focus is to identify local businesses that welcome customers to shop with reusable bags and containers. Participating businesses are identified with the Ottawa Reduces logo and are directly pro- moted to individuals keen to reduce their own envi- ronmental impact using social media (Instagram: @ reduitottawareduces and Facebook: Ottawa Reduces / Ottawa Réduit). The group is raising awareness and engagement around plastic pollution, and is demonstrating what ordinary people can do about it!
