Our next leadership camps are in Spring 2025, in-person in downtown Toronto and online
Promote environmentalism and help newcomers adapt to their new homes by hosting an information session on recycling! Many newcomers are unfamiliar with how recycling works in Canada- break that cycle and get new members of your community informed on the recycling process!

The aim of this event is to inform newcomers about how Canada's recycling process works. It will especially aid those who are not familiar with Western recycling practices.
This will be beneficial to those who do not know how recycling in Canada works. Since recycling is good for the environment, it is best to provide newcomers with the opportunity to join in on the process.
