New Name – Same Show
At this year’s event, Canadian Waste & Recycling Expo announced its new name – Waste & Recycling Expo Canada. This change was due mainly to achieve brand consistency across the Environmental portfolio produced by Messe Frankfurt. To ensure that supporters of the show will not experience any lapse in service, the acronym and web site address will remain the same.
Continuing to expand its reach, CWRE will be joined with another co-located event in 2015. The Municipal Equipment Expo Canada will be held November 4 – 5 in the same venue. This show will connect equipment manufacturers and service providers with municipalities and government agencies within the public works markets. For more details, visit www.municipalexpo.ca
