Of the five circular economy SCC applications, The City of Guelph and Wellington County (Guelph-Wellington) was selected as a finalist and ultimately was awarded the $10M prize. Guelph-Wellington focused on becoming Canada's first technology-enabled Circular Food Economy, creating a food-secure ecosystem that increases access to affordable, nutritious food by 50%, where waste becomes a resource, to create 50 new circular businesses and collaborations, and increase circular economic revenues by 50%: 50x50x50 by 2025. Their application is profiled below:

• Guelph-Wellington is an already existing hub of food innovation and environmental sustainability. Leveraging local expertise, big data and the latest technology to transform the food ecosystem into a connected "living lab" where researchers, social innovators, farmers, entrepreneurs and other community partners can collaborate to solve complex food problems.
• Proposed solutions include the creation of baseline asset and behaviour mapping which will seek to understand what currently exists in the community and where gaps lie and identify geographic and demographic priority areas. The analysis of multiple layers of data, including behaviour, will also provide insights for public health interventions and a platform for community-wide evidencebased decision-making. The data will also be used to develop a Food Security and Health Action Plan for the region.
• Overall, Guelph-Wellington relied on CE principles throughout its application for the creation of a circular food economy. Social, economic and environmental sustainability goals were equally prioritized in the proposal. The following is an evaluation of the application against the ReSOLVE framework:
