Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In light of last year’s successful project, Dysart et al and Fleming College have agreed to continue working on the Plastic Waste Reduction Challenge. This year’s project will shift the focus away from material bans and instead focus on building an understanding of the current cultural mindset of both residents and businesses with regards to waste and environmental/sustainability issues. This information can inform the adoption of future initiatives, campaigns, and bylaws. This year’s class applied various survey best practices to design and develop surveys to obtain specific information about resident and business consumption habits and perceptions of environmental initiatives regarding single-use plastics. The data gathered from the surveys will provide valuable information regarding which demographics and businesses would be most responsive to future promotion and education campaigns. In addition to the survey work undertaken this year, the Sustainable Waste Management class has provided a wide selection of potential promotion and education strategies to aid in Dysart’s objective of fostering a shift in environmental consciousness.

Waste Diversion
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
SIRCH Thrift Warehouse is an example of a reuse store, and this organization would like to know how much material they are effectively diverting from landfill through their operations. The goal of this report is to outline multiple options that SIRCH could potentially use to quantify the amount of donations they receive. Subsequently, SIRCH can use this information to determine how much material they are diverting from landfill. The student team consulted multiple outside sources to gain an understanding of how other reuse stores quantify their donations.
The options that the team explored in Chapter 1 include 1) weighing the items donated, 2) using an average weight and applying it to all donations and 3) associating a weight with a specific volume and quantifying the donations through volume. Chapter 2 makes recommendations for how most donations could be measured by the cubic yard using appropriately sized bins. Chapters 2 and 3 both make recommendations for grant programs related to waste diversion and waste reduction that SIRCH could consider applying to. Also in Chapter 3, student explored examples of existing municipal-thrift partnerships, and what practices could be applied to the SIRCH warehouse. The final chapter is a review of thrifting and thrift stores in Canada.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Horseshoe Lake is located approximately 10 kilometers northeast of the town of Minden, Ontario. The lake acts as a reservoir for the Trent/Severn Waterway and has had a sizable cottage community along its shores for many generations. From 2017-2018 the Horseshoe Lake Property Owners Association (HLPOA) in conjunction with U-Links Centre for Community Based Research has partnered with post-secondary students to analyze the benthic macroinvertebrate communities along the lake shoreline. These organisms are identified by order, a classification of life similar to that of genus and species, with each order having a different level of sensitivity to organic pollution. The results of this initial phase of the study indicate that there is probably some organic pollution present in the lake, but the source or sources of this pollution and whether or not there are any trends present is not yet known. This phase of the project will be used as a baseline for future years of sampling and lays the framework for how future studies should be conducted.

Haliburton Lake, Haliburton County
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Haliburton Lake Cottagers' Association partnered with Fleming College and U-Links to begin determining the health of Haliburton Lake using benthic macroinvertebrates. Two sites were sampled as part of this pilot project in an attempt to begin understanding the health of Haliburton Lake. After only one sampling event it is difficult to determine what the state of Haliburton Lake is with great certainty. Future sampling events will need to be completed and additional sites should be considered in future sampling events in order to gain a better understanding of the broader health of the lake. Based on the sites analyzed in 2019, Haliburton Lake is somewhere in the range of “fair” to “fairly poor” indicating that there is likely some form of organic pollution entering the lake. The extent and location of this pollution is unclear at this time and more sampling will be required to determine if this pollution is human caused; if it is being produced from a single source or more broadly throughout the lake; and whether it is improving, remaining stable, or getting worse as time progresses. At the same time, however, the presence of large numbers of usually sensitive groupings indicates that there are complexities at play in Haliburton Lake that will require further research to understand. It is recommended that sampling continue in subsequent years in order to gain a better understanding of the overall health of the lake and to potentially locate sites that can be improved to better the health of the lake.
