Fairmont Winnipeg
2 Lombard Place, Winnipeg, Manitoba
June 17-20, 2025
Our Convention Theme is “Untapped Potential” referring to the opportunities, resources, abilities and expertise that exist within the recycling sector but have not yet been fully explored and developed. Like many, our industry has faced many challenges and has room for growth and achievement that has not been realized to its full potential, which will be the focus of this Convention. Working together, greater business results can be achieved through strategic collaboration, innovation, communication and by ‘untapping’ our true potential. We hope you will join us and be part of this game-changing conference! Questions? Connect with CARI’s Communications Director Kari Veno, [email protected] or 905.864.5083.
Network with peers, meet exhibitors, hear from industry experts, and more.
This convention attracts recyclers across Canada, the United States, and abroad.
Attendees have access to an exhibit hall, educational sessions led by experts, and numerous networking opportunities.
All forms & documents will be made available for download after payment. A link to the registration form will also be sent via email – please be sure to check your spam folder.
