The 1st Annual Environmental Awareness Day in Oakville was organised by Tim Hortons and the Oakville Chamber of Commerce with support from the Kerr Village BIA.
To kick off the event, Tim Hortons spoke about their waste reduction program, letting the public know that they offer a 10 cent discount on all refills if you bring your own refillable cup. They also reminded the public that all Tim Hortons paper products can go into your recycle or compost bin. More information on the Tim Horton’s waste reduction program is available here.

With gloves and trash bags in hand the community carried out a clean-up along Cross Ave. and the ravine. You can see the fantastic results here!
