Art That Gives Back
This is an invitation to attend Art That Gives Back, a live art auction featuring a number of local artists with all proceeds going towards the drop-in day centre which operates at the All Nations Centre in downtown Terrace. 
The centre provides food and support services for those who need it and operates through community donations. Casey Eys, who runs the centre and also works for Northwest Addictions Services, says that at the moment they are feeding on average 80 people a day. 
The centre is in need of some assistance, so please consider attending this event and forward this e-mail onto anyone who might be interested in attending; the better the attendance the more money that can be raised!

June 18, 7 p.m. Elephant's Ear

7 p.m.- 8 p.m. Live music

8 p.m.- Live auction

Come by the Elephant's Ear on Sunday, June 14 to view the pieces that will be auctioned off, all for a good cause!
 
The Commuter Challenge in Terrace!
 

imagesAs part of a commitment to support active and healthier commuting, the City of Terrace will be participating in the 2009 Canadian Commuter Challenge.

 

The Commuter Challenge is national program that encourages Canadians to walk, cycle, carpool, tele-work or take transit instead of driving to work alone. 


The challenge is intended a friendly competition between workplaces and communities across Canada to see which has the highest percentage participation rates during the week. During Commuter Challenge week, employees record how they get to work and at the end the week the workplace with the highest percentage of healthier commuters is declared the winner. We challenge all workplaces to register and encourage employees to join in during Canadian Environment Week, May 31-June 6, 2009.  

 

If you are interested in promoting the Commuter Challenge in your organization/workplace please visit www.commuterchallenge.ca. Please note under the “tools” section the posters and other materials that can be emailed out or printed off to help spread the word. If you have ideas or suggestions for how we can make this a successful challenge in Terrace, please contact Tara Irwin at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

A number of businesses and workplaces have already committed to take the challenge! Please see the attached PDF for information on some of the many benefits of active transportation in our community.
