Congratulations to the winners of the 7th Annual Waste Reduction School Challenge sponsored by Multi-Material Stewardship Manitoba! This year the winners are Mrs. Wright's grade 1 class from Green Acres School and Mrs. Donnelly's grade 3/4 class from Valleyview Centennial School. Winning classes received bragging rights, photo with his Worship Mayor Rick Chrest, passes to the Sportsplex and a bench made out of recycled plastic for their school!
The Fair Trade Steering Committee had another successful year bringing awareness to the community on what fair trade is and what products are available in Brandon. In late February at the National Fair Trade Conference, Fair Trade Canada awarded the City of Brandon "2016 Fair Trade Town of the Year". This marks the third time Brandon has received this national accolade. Grace Mennonite Church here in Brandon received Fair Trade Faith Group of the Year, the church just received their designation in 2016. This recognition is well deserved as the committee has been very active promoting fair trade to the community. Congratulations to all!
