2021 PADS Shred Day raises $12,367!

The Pacific Assistance Dogs Society known as PADS is a registered Charity that serves Western Canada. This charity supports community care providers and those with disabilities by assigning them certified assistance dogs.

We are very excited to report that the May 29 PADS Shred Day raised the largest amount ever.

“We are simply blown away by our record-breaking amount this year.”

Shred Your Sensitive Documents Securely by Donation at Pacific Assistance Dogs Society (PADS) Shred Day.

Clearing out old files and records? Don't let your sensitive documents fall victim to identity theft! Identity theft and information - based fraud are one of the fastest growing crimes in Canada. 
Passports and SIN cards, uncashed cheques, credit card statements and insurance records — some of your most important, private information need to be securely destroyed!

COVID Safety is our #1 priority at the moment. We are working tirelessly at keeping our operating teams safe, our bubbles small and getting as many of our staff and their families signed up on the BC government website https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/covid-19/vaccine/register and on the Pharmacies website if they agree to do so and qualify https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/covid-19/vaccine/pharmacy.

We are all so very busy. We understand and know that it can be tough to remember which day Urban Impact services your location. That's why we developed the Urban Impact app, where you can find answers like: what day you are scheduled to receive service, what is acceptable and what is not acceptable in your recycling bin, print your calendar of service and even schedule an extra pick up. Simply download the app from your phone's app store and you can start taking advantage of checking your schedule, receive timely service reminders, book an extra pick up and more!
