All of us at the Depot were saddened to learn of Ruth Fortune’s passing. Ruth was a longtime volunteer and will be greatly missed by all of us. We wish her loved ones all the best, and would like them to know how much her years of service have been appreciated.
The Free-Store is still operating with reduced hours, and is open Thursdays from 9-1. Please ensure that any clothing you bring has been laundered, and that household items are in good condition. Our hardworking volunteers are keeping up with the donations, and doing your part will only make their work easier. Thank-you in advance for your cooperation.
The Recycling Depot continues to operate with Covid-19 protocols in place. We thank-you for your continued patience and for wearing a mask when you are inside any of the buildings. If anyone hasn’t been to the Depot recently, we will be happy to clarify the Covid protocols.
If you haven’t taken a stroll through the garden this spring, you will be delighted when you do. Besides the beautiful plants, you will also find artworks by Tom Knott and Ted Gooden.
We would like to remind everyone again to please call ahead when planning deposit drywall to ensure that our drywall bin is on the island and that there is room in the bin for your drywall before you come to the depot. As well please ensure that you have your waste disposal application out “before” you arrive at the recycling depot. The waste disposal application can be downloaded and printed at https://recycling.hirra.ca/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Dry-Wall-Waste-Disposal-Application-March-2017.pdf.
A reminder that our recycling depot will be closed on statutory holidays.
Thank-you to the committed volunteers who keep the gardens looking so good. Visitors have always commented on how special our Depot is.
And as always, we want to thank the Recycling Committee for their ongoing work and support, especially Jan Kennedy who has really gone the extra mile during this tumultuous past year. It’s been a tougher than usual year for everyone.
We thank you all and see you up on depot hill.
