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! Ottawa Reduces has been leading Zero Waste workshops (most recently to a sold-out audience at The Ottawa Tool Library) and has welcomed over 30 (Almost) zero-waste created during the Skating Party new volunteers since the start of 2020. Watch for the thanks to composting, recycling and reusing.

For those experiencing their first Canadian winter, this was an amazing and thoroughly enjoyable experi- ence! Trees were measured with coloured tapes before holes were drilled (identifying trees that could accommodate 1, 2 or up to 3 taps); plastic taps were gently hammered in and metal pails with lids were finally hung. Such was the en- thusiasm, that more than 500 taps were inserted.
