Woodbine Entertainment Group Turns Trash Into Gold
Success Stories
TORONTO, ONTARIO - The Recycling Council of Ontario saluted Ontario's
environmental stewards at its annual Ontario Waste Minimization Awards Gala
last week. In the Business category, Woodbine Entertainment Group
(WEG) was awarded the Facilities *Gold* award in recognition for its
excellence and commitment to a sustainable environment.
An estimated 1200 tonnes per year of material is diverted from WEG
facilities to recycle streams that would have otherwise been sent to
landfill as waste. WEG's diversion rate has been climbing steadily since
2003 and is on-track to reach 92% in 2010.

Team" (L to R) David Brockie - Director of Purchasing, John Marhong -

Corporate Affairs, Wendy Loiselle - Corporate Communications, James McNeely - Director of Property Services and Joseph Araujo- Catering & Sales
