Most of you recycling regulars have noticed that the official closing time of BIRD has been nudged up to 2:20 to adjust to the high number of folks arriving at 2:29, inevitably leading to staff and volunteers having to regularly stay well beyond closing time. So you’ll see our faithful Sean or other volunteers standing by the gate to open it for folks leaving the depot between 2:20 and 2:30. As you can expect, The Knick Knack Nook has the same issue with folks arriving just before closing to drop off or browse requiring our volunteers to stay beyond their scheduled shift. So the KKN board has decided to align with BIRD and is also moving their closing time to 2:20.
In order to give those hard working volunteers a break, note that the Nook will be closed from Sat. July 1st, Sun. July 2nd, and Mon. July 3rd.
Due to renovations, the Office in Artisan Square is no longer able to accept the donations for the WISH Drop-In Centre, so the KKN has agreed to become the drop off point, on a trial basis since a space is somewhat limited.
We are offering scholarships for post-secondary studies which develop the capacity of individuals to advance environmental sustainability. The deadline is June 26. Get the info and application on our website!
