“We are requesting the sangat to not throw away their recyclables like bottles and cans and find us along the route and drop them in bins provided.

“Volunteers can participate in this charitable event by manning the allocated stations. We will be providing t-shirts to our volunteers.

“The money raised by recycling the bottles and cans will go toward helping feed the homeless.” Available times slots for volunteering and any other information can be provided by event coordinator Garry Grewal at 604-250-2222.
