SWANA BC Training Conference & 'GHG from A to Z' Workshop a Success!

May 2008 saw the beginning of a new feature for the BC Chapter - an annual training conference.  Member as well as general public response exceeded expectations. Over 60 people sat down for examinations associated with Landfill and Transfer Station operations. The wrap up workshop on the Friday saw an additional 90 persons attending the 'GHG from A to Z' session.  Whether or not you were able to attend the GHG training sessions in Victoria, you'll want to take a look at the high calibre presentations that were made at this inaugural SWANA BC Pacific Training Conference.
