Bruce Area Solid Waste Recycling Food Drive 2009
Information
We are pleased to inform you of our 12th Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive to assist those in need during the Thanksgiving holiday,
which will be held during the weeks of September 14 to September 25, 2009. As our collection areas are completed over a
two-week cycle, all residents serviced by us will receive one blue-box collection over this time period. We feel that as we are in a
position to be servicing such a large area on a daily basis, this would be a great opportunity for people to make a donation without
having to deliver to a food depot. Donations can be placed in an open bag beside their blue-box on the normal recycling collection
day during the 2-week time span.

In planning for this annual event, we are asking for your assistance in notifying residents (who may call your office with questions)
within their respective municipalities that they can place their donations by their blue-box on their normal collection day within
this two-week time span.

We are currently developing plans to ensure all residents in our service areas are aware of the food-drive and how they may
participate. These plans include extensive advertising in local papers and a mail out flyer. As your municipal office may receive
calls or questions regarding donations, we have listed a few facts, which may be helpful.

- Only accepting canned goods due to animal and weather reasons

- All donations should be placed in an open plastic bag beside their recycling material on their day of collection

- Anyone not sure which day they are collected during the donation period may call us at (519) 797-5557 or (800) 794-9770

- All donations will be shipped by BASWR to The Salvation Army for distribution. They have assured us that they help families
in need in all of Bruce County and not just the area in which they are located.

- Anyone not in our service areas is welcome to deliver donations to our facility

BENEFITS OF RECREATION
We all know that living an active lifestyle and participating in recreation activities is good for our health, but did
you know recreation can also help to improve our economy, environment and civic pride. Listed below are some
of the lesser known benefits of recreation.

Recreation and culture attracts businesses and professionals (Doctors, Teachers and Artists) to the
community. Strong recreation services are prime economic development and relocation magnets.
Arts/culture is one of the best ways to express the spirituality of the land, thereby encouraging
stewardship ethics.
Recreation reduces crime and social dysfunction - reducing police, justice and incarceration costs.

Daffodil Explosion - Spring 2010

The Town of South Bruce Peninsula
Beautification Committee has declared spring of 2010

"DAFFODIL
EXPLOSION"
The Committee would like to encourage all residents, business and community groups to
plan for this event by planting daffodil bulbs this fall. What a great project for
Thanksgiving Week End. The Committee will be planting but South Bruce Peninsula is a
very large Municipality and our numbers are few.

We require your help to make an impact!

Please plan on purchasing extra daffodil bulbs this fall and plant them anywhere you can
for maximum visibility. This is a little something you can add to your "to do" list for
fall. If you live on a country road around your mailbox would show nicely, or perhaps in
the front corner of your garden or on the roadside. Community groups, churches or
schools could make it a project of their own and truly create a splash of colour. Perhaps
around their Community Centre or gathering place, on Town property( out of the way of
the cutters), in parks, schools or campgrounds.

Yellow will be the colour of spring 2010 in South Bruce Peninsula.

Please contact us: Suzy Richardson at 519-534-1400 extension 101 to
commit to our challenge. Let us know who you are and how many
Daffodil bulbs you intend to plant as your pledge.

Please help us make it happen.
