Annual Environmental Awareness Day

 Joining forces with our community partners, Tim Hortons (111 Cross Avenue), Kerr Village BIA, M&M Meat Shops (2525 Prince Michael Drive), Fortinos (Oakville) and Shred-It International, we present our Annual Environmental Awareness Day each year in July. Proceeds from donations and the event's raffle support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Halton. Local vendors exhibit their environmentally-friendly products and services. In addition, children's activities, a community clean up and complimentary BBQ round out the day.

Volunteers from the community clean up the area around the Tim Hortons at 111 Cross Avenue. A team of volunteers led by Collin Woodcock also clean up along the banks of the Sixteen-Mile creek. Confidential documents are also accepted for shredding. M & M Meat Shops, along with Fortinos and Tim Hortons, donate a free BBQ lunch and snacks for the volunteers. Entertainment is provided. The Home Depot children's workshop provided hands-on activities for kids. St. John’s Ambulance is also on hand. Big and little brothers and sisters help with the community clean up.

The 4th Annual Environmental Awareness Day was held on Saturday, July 7, 2012. Listen to an interview with two of the event partners:
