We’re back on the road for the Hartland Happening!

Michelle and I got back into ambassador mode today when we visited the Hartland Landfill in Victoria for their open house. The pouring rain stopped early in the morning, revealing a beautiful sunny day. There were Capital Regional District booths with fun activities and lot of info for the families who attended. We got a lot of questions today about recycling cooking oil – Victoria residents are lucky that the Hartland Landfill is a ‘one stop shop’ for recycling, even accepting cooking oil. One new tip we learned today is the fact that we only need to use half the detergent that is recommended by the soap companies. This saves us money and is good for the environment as all our drains lead to the ocean.

That’s right – we took the pledge. No pesticides on our lawns.
We’re coming out of retirement one more time this year in November – watch for us at the Hyde Creek Salmon Festival in Port Coquitlam on Nov 14th.
