This past Friday, I had the chance to attend a quiet but powerful kind of celebration: the send-off for uOttawa’s Enactus team, who are heading to the 2025 Enactus Canada National Exposition in Calgary from May 6–8.
It was a final rehearsal, an exchange of ideas, and a proud moment for everyone who’s been following the journey of these student changemakers.
I recently had the opportunity to attend the Canadian Circular Economy Summit 2025 in Montreal, a few days packed with inspiring conversations, honest reflections, and hopeful examples of how circular thinking is slowly but surely reshaping the way we do business.
The summit brought together a wide mix of voices, public and private sector leaders, researchers, innovators, and community builders, each tackling the same question: How do we make circularity real, scalable, and inclusive?
