MTC Clearance Centre Recycles
April kicked off with some amazing summer-like weather and the team at MTC Clearance Centre decided it was time to fire up the barbecues. MTC hosted a BBQ for all customers and everyone who brought in old and unused electronics for recycling. Participants also had their names entered into a draw to receive a Sony PlayStation 3. This is part of Phase 2 of Ontario's "Do What You Can" program (now called "Recycle Your Electronics" program). This 2 day event was a great way to give our community a chance to deal with our waste responsibly. Thanks to the team at MTC for making our town a greener place to live. If you missed this event MTC will take your electronics anytime. For more information please contact MTC at 905-666-7669 or 905-556-0061 ext 242.

Dave's Diner at MTC
The Canadian Mental Health Association-Durham Branch's Employment Program, Whitby Mental Health Centre's Challenging Directions Enterprises, and Community Living-Ajax, Pickering & Whitby Community Employment Program partnered together last year to move forward with a collective vision they had for clients with barriers to employment, interested in developing skills for future employment. The goal of this small business initiative idea was to provide clients, from all three partnering agencies, an opportunity to develop transferable skills within a supported employment environment. The outcome was the transformation of the MTC staff lunch room into a client-staffed cafeteria that now provides lunch and break time refreshments for the staff that work at MTC. The cafe has been operating at MTC since November 5th, 2007 and this month they celebrated the long awaited official opening of the Café named “Dave's Diner".
