Our next leadership camps are in Spring 2025, in-person in downtown Toronto and online
Promote environmentalism and help community members learn about trash disposal by posting flyers in garbage chutes on what goes into recycling and garbage. Many people are unfamiliar with how trash disposal works in Canada- break that cycle and get members of your community informed on the rules of trash disposal!
The aim of this project is to inform community members about the rules of trash disposal. It will especially aid those who are not familiar with Western trash disposal practices.
Information about trash sorting can be inaccessible to certain individuals due to language and cultural barriers. This will be beneficial to those who do not know how trash disposal in Canada works.
Every Saturday evening in November
The local park and local high-rise buildings

Create and print flyers about trash disposal.
Contact local high-rise buildings and ask permission to post the flyers there. If the buildings agree, ask them which languages you should make the flyers in (in addition to English).
