The Share Reuse Repair Initiative consists of Core Staff, a Steering Committee, and dedicated Advisors. We engage with a variety of partners, including the public sector, local citizens and communities, small and medium enterprises, and other nonprofit societies.
The Share Reuse Repair Initiative is a project on the MakeWay Shared Platform.

Core Staff

Rosemary Cooper, Project Director

For over 20 years, Rosemary has advanced practical,  sustainable solutions that emphasize collaboration between government, business and community.  Since 2013, she has been catalyzing the transition to a circular economy with a focus on upstream innovations that design out waste and foster lasting prosperity. Rosemary is a Senior Associate with One Earth, teaches the Circular Economy at BCIT’s School of Business and provides consulting services on waste prevention and circularity. She coauthored the 2015 Local Governments and the Sharing Economy Roadmap and wrote "Beyond Waste: Sustainable Consumption for Community Resilience" for the Post-Carbon Institute.  Rosemary's Masters degree at York University explored the integration of economic development and sustainability planning.
