Vice President du Buclet was recently featured in an WTTW  interview and article about the collaboration between MWRD and local breweries to help reuse waste from beer production in wastewater treatment processes.

Vice President du Buclet and her team were honored to be able to tour the new Calumet exhibit at the Field Museum titled: "Calumet Voices." The exhibit featured local stories that illustrate the connection between Calumet and national narratives. There are three main themes within the exhibit: Reworking Nature, Innovation and Change for Industries, and the Crucible of Working Class and Ethnic Cultures. This is a limited time exhibit so try to visit while it's still here! Visit this website to learn more and purchase tickets. (https://www.calumetvoices.fieldmuseum.org/)

Thank you for a successful Black History Month!

I'd like to thank everyone who attended the Black History Month events that my office helped host. We had a great turnout this year and I look forward to continuing to highlight Black excellence in our communities year-round. A special thanks to my fellow commissioners and the panelists from our roundtable, these events would not have been possible without you!

This month is Women's History Month so I encourage you to attend the various events that MWRD and other organizations are hosting and to continue uplifting women's voices in our communities!
