Wellington County, Ont.- On May 29, the Municipal Waste Association (MWA) recognized Wellington County’s Solid Waste Services (SWS) Division with the Social Media and Online Strategy Silver Award for innovative promotional and educational (P and E) materials.
The MWA showcases and celebrates municipal excellence around waste minimization and diversion with the P and E Awards, presented at their annual spring workshop. Award winners are selected by municipal peers and industry professionals who evaluate submissions for effectiveness, novelty, innovation, value to others, and planning and implementation.
This award recognizes a buzz-worthy social media or online strategy (e.g., online advertisement, social media campaign, interactive website).
The County submitted the “Day in the Life” animated shorts video series, which included all three videos:
• Day in the Life of Canny - Solid Waste Services | Day in the Life of Canny (youtube.com)
• Day in the Life of B - Solid Waste Services | Day in the Life of B (youtube.com)
