Did you know that the City of Ottawa is developing a Solid Waste Master Plan right now? Specifically, on March 28th at 7 pm they are hosting a virtual public meeting "Beyond curbside collection: finding further ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle".
That's right, this is our time to tell the city that we need more lending libraries, Repair Cafés, recycling hubs, and more! We need your support to show them the strong demand there is for such activities. |
