Family Skate Night

Catch the Olympic Fever!
Family Skate Night at North Toronto
Memorial Community Centre

 On Friday, February 19th, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., please join me and my family at the outdoor skating rink at North Toronto Memorial Community Centre for a celebration of our Olympic athletes.  Put on your favourite Olympic wear, have a skate, a hot chocolate and take a minute to sign our “Go Canada Go” banner. 

This banner, which will be shipped directly to our Olympic athletes in Vancouver in their final week of the games, is a great way for you and your family to share your thoughts and best wishes for Team Canada.  Tell our athletes they’re great! Tell them you’re proud! Tell them you’re rooting for them!

Catch the Olympic Fever and have some fun!

Hope to see you on the 19th!

*As this is an outdoor event, it will only take place if ice conditions permit.  In the event of a cancellation, a notice will be posted on my website (www.karenstintz.com) or please call my office for information at 416-392-4090.

Live Green Toronto Meeting

Councillor Cliff Jenkins, Councillor Karen Stintz and Live Green Toronto will be hosting a community environmental strategy session on Thursday, November 19, 2009, from 6:30 p.m.to 8:30 p.m., at the North Toronto Memorial Community Centre, located at 200 Eglinton Avenue West.

Please review the attached flyer for further details – Wards 16 & 25 Live Green Toronto Meeting

Ward 16 Can the Trash Contest

As you may recall, we launched the ‘Can the Trash’ Contest in January of this year. We invited all students attending school in Ward 16, from Grades 1 to 12, to participate. Students were asked to prepare a submission on the subject of littering, graffiti or the environment in general. To communicate their thoughts, students could develop an illustration, write a poem or draft an essay.

The response was outstanding.

We received over 100 submissions, with an entry from every Grade. What is so striking is how insightful the students were in communicating their thoughts about these matters. Moreover, the effort they put into their work and their creativity was truly impressive.

A panel of judges, including artist/environmentalist, Franke James and former advertising executive, Judy Paradi, are selecting a winner from each Grade. In collaboration with participating schools and our local BIAs, we will announce our winners and present awards in late May/early June. The work of the winners will be displayed in a calendar that will be distributed through our schools and local businesses.

New Recycling Items for Blue Bin

Starting December 9th, residents can add plastic grocery and retail bags and foam polystyrene packaging to their recycling.

Plastic grocery and retail bags without drawstrings, metal detailing or hard plastic handles are accepted. Remove receipts. Place all plastic bags in one grocery or retail bag and tie handles together. The following bags are not included: dry cleaning, milk (outer and inner), produce, bread, sandwich and plastic food wrap.

Foam polystyrene packaging includes foam protective packaging, foam meat trays, foam takeout food containers, foam plates, foam egg cartons and foam coffee cups. All food residue must be removed. Packing chips (e.g., “peanuts”) are not accepted in the Blue Bin.
Residents will be informed through a newspaper advertising campaign in daily, community and ethnic papers (see samples in the attached PDFs). Mall and transit shelter posters will be displayed across the city throughout the month of December.  Information is also posted at:  www.toronto.ca/recycle
