This weekend, Aurum Solar Ltd. is proud to sponsor the 2026 Nautical Days ECO Team, and there is a person at the heart of why.
Meet Bob Bowen. Bob is part of the Aurum Solar family, one of our valued clients here in the Comox Valley. Earlier this year, Bob came to us with something bigger than solar on his mind. He is the driving force behind the Nautical Days ECO Team, and he asked if we would step up to support it. The moment he explained what the team was doing, we knew it was a perfect fit.
Here's what Bob and his volunteers have built. Events like Nautical Days bring thousands of people together, and they generate a lot of waste, much of which has gone straight to the landfill in the past. The ECO Team is changing that, with waste sorting stations across the festival and clear, intuitive signage so attendees can sort their own waste into liquids, compostable food waste, cans and paper, recyclable plastics, and garbage. Around six stations, staffed by volunteers all weekend, working toward one goal: cutting the waste headed to the landfill by 50 percent.
That is real, on the ground impact, led by a neighbour who cares. Supporting local people doing real good is exactly what we believe in as the Comox Valley's locally owned solar specialists.
Thank you, Bob, for bringing this to us, and for everything you do for this community.
Come see the ECO Team in action at Comox Nautical Days, August 1 to 3, at Comox Marina Park.
ECO Team, sponsored by Aurum Solar Ltd.
