Stamps: We still make available the opportunity to save your used postage stamps for the Oxfam Stamp Program. Norine Baron is our contact at 519-599-2442 for pick up/drop off.
Styrofoam & drywall: CANN collaborated with Blue Mountains council and staff to have styrofoam and drywall recycled at the local landfill.
Natural burials: Currently CANN is sharing information with town staff and council about Natural Burials and is asking for a few acres of land in the local cemetery for a Natural Burial site. National Burials are the traditional method of burying our dead with no embalming, no casket and no vault. The community may have input into the design of the plan – a lavender field, a wildflower garden. See the latest paper edition of the Blue Mountain Review for more information on natural burials or e-mail canntbm@gmai.com
