Environmental & Family Strategies at CSF2023

At CSF 2022 in Toronto, sustainability was a topic of great interest, specifically sustainability in medicine, as was accessibility to educational meetings.

​

The CSF planning committee took to heart the feedback they received and have incorporated the following elements into this year's meeting:

  • No paper programs - all CSF information is available via the CSF App

  • Offset your carbon footprint - make a donation to Tree Canada

  • Sustainable menu considerations - reduced red meat orders for more sustainable and plant based options

  • Refillable water stations - bring your own bottle or purchase one from the CAGS booth near registration

  • On-site daycare - introducing the CSF Mini-Surgeons Clubhouse full-day daycare

  • Breastfeeding room - a safe, private space for nursing mothers

​

The host hotels are also doing their part with unique interventions of their own, such as: 

  • Using more plant based single-use plates and recycled paper products

  • Using refillable bottles for shampoos, creams, etc.

  • Offering recycling stations to accommodate the City's waste reduction activities - like charging for plastic bags - to aid delegates in better managing their waste.
