Day 32: Starting in Sicamous, through Rogers Pass to Golden

July 21, 2009

Starting the day off in Sicamous, the ambassador team visited Sicamous Auto Repair and Integra Tire, the two local return collection facilities.

Integra Tire happens to be located next to an ice cream shop that, in the ambassadors’ opinion, may be one of the best across the province… a little further incentive to make the trek and return your used oil in this hot weather!

Then we journeyed through the breath-taking Canadian Rockies to reach Golden:

We first checked in with Petro Canada Bulk Oil Station at 820 – 10th Ave. N. They happily accept used oil, filters and plastic containers but be sure to return these materials during regular business hours to ensure the protection of local wildlife, particularly the bears who seem to be very curious about used oil.

Both Columbia Diesel (911 – 11th Ave. N) and Kal Tire (1002 10th Ave. N) will also accept returns of used oil, filters and plastic containers.

Look for us and more information about BC’s used oil recycling program in the next edition of the Golden Star!
