Water Efficiency Green Toronto Award: Winner Announced!
The winner in the Water Efficiency category was Campbell Company of Canada. Their Water Recovery Program has resulted in nearly 100% recovery of the water used for cooling cans in its hydrostatic cookers. The heat from these cans is now captured and used in other areas of the plant that require hot water, saving 25 to 40-million litres a month. The project inspired staff to form a Sustainability Committee, which actively works on new environmental initiatives.

Honourable mentions in the Water Efficiency category were SMART Watering Systems at Yorkdale Mall and St. Michael's Hospital.
