Waste Reduction Week October 21-27, 2024

Waste Reduction Week has become part of a larger event, Circular Economy Month. Waste Reduction is a key component of a Circular Economy. The week itself, with its theme days and activities, continues to be a focal point for highlighting waste reduction.

Warm Hearts - Jacket Repair Project

We have been thrilled with the success of Warm Hearts since 2021, a project dedicated to repairing winter jackets and donating them to local community organizations. m Hearts kicks off during Waste Reduction Week and runs throughout the winter. Thanks to Affinity Credit Union - Saskatoon and South Districts for sponsoring the 2024 Warm Hearts project.
