Attention Artists!  We are very excited to announce our new Facebook Contest, “Draw our Hybrid Recycling Truck” goes live this weekend at the Rio Tinto Alcan Dragon Boat Festival”.

CEO and President Nicole Stefenelli receives YWCA Women of Distinction Award                                                                                                       

We are happy to share that the proceeds from our next Shred Day scheduled on Wednesday, April 18th, will be donated to pancreatic cancer research. Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in Canada and according to the 2011 Charity Intelligence Canada report, patients diagnosed early only have a 9% survival rate. While other diseases are researching for cures, pancreatic cancer research is still in the midst of diagnostic and detection research.

We are thrilled that our Earth Week Recycling Education School Tours are 2 weeks away! We are really looking forward to the hosting this year's Grade 4/5 students and preparing for their inquisitive questions about recycling.

We are also very excited to announce that our Second Annual Waste Not Want Not Contest is now underway!  Our contest invites Grade 4/5 students to use their artistic talents to think big and design recycling art for the hundreds of visitors that come to Urban Impact to see.
