MOST UNWANTED: January Edition Part 2 Item: Christmas Decorations Christmas Decorations are Garbage Material.... This time of year we receive a lot of unwanted Christmas decorations like Christmas lights, garland and tinsel, in our recycling bins. All Christmas decorations are garbage material and should be thrown in the wheelie bin with the black lid. Better yet, think about reusing them or donate them to a local thrift shop. Christmas decorations can get tangled up and break or damage our machinery in the plant and can contaminate otherwise recyclable material. Please help us keep our material clean.

The Ontario Government has recently announced that it is investing nearly $4.4 million to support the long-term sustainability of the province's vital tourism i...ndustry. This funding will help deliver innovative, safe experiences, like virtual festivals and events, and support tourism operators as they deal with the impacts of COVID-19. "This pandemic continues to disproportionately impact tourism and culture - two major industries which were hit first, the hardest, and will take the longest to recover," said Minister MacLeod. "It is critical that we support organizations as they adapt and find new ways to engage and reconnect Ontarians with their local communities while creating local jobs. Through the Reconnect Festival and Event Program and the Tourism Economic Development and Recovery Fund, our government's investments will help support the economic and social recovery of communities across Ontario, making sure we are well positioned to re-emerge stronger, and once again showcase how Ontario offers the world in one province."
