EPISODE 19
Welcome to The UpCycle Canada Podcast - we are so very pleased to share this interview with the Mayor of St. Catharines, Ontario CANADA, Mayor Walter Sendzik.
Walter Sendzik was born and raised in St. Catharines. In 2014, as a first-time candidate for political office, he was elected as Mayor of St. Catharines and re-elected in 2018. As Mayor, Walter brings a strategic focus and business-like approach to City Hall where he has focused on streamlining processes and building a culture of excellent customer service.
Since becoming Mayor, the City has approved a new strategic plan and economic development strategy, stabilized tax rate increases and implemented long-term budgeting.

With a background in business, Mayor Sendzik has been a strong advocate for local business and regularly meets with local businesses, employers and investors. Understanding transportation as key for business success and getting people to work, school and services, Mayor Sendzik has led in the transformation of inter-municipal transit from a pilot project to a permanent service that will connect all of Niagara's communities. He has helped bring private sector partners to community events and worked with the development community on a new housing action plan.
In this interview we discuss how social media can connect government leaders with their community, how St. Catharines switched from weekly garbage collection to every other week collection, changing mindsets, landfill challenges and how upcycling can help to reduce waste in our communities!
A great interview, we hope you enjoy it and it makes you think further about the role YOU play in helping our environment! Climate change begins with a change of mindset!
