Calendar

Are you looking to declutter, reduce waste, and give unwanted household items a second life? York Region residents can place unwanted items at the curb labelled “FREE” for neighbours and community members to take at no cost. Any items not claimed must be brought back inside by the end of the day. Participants are encouraged to clearly label giveaway items, keep non-giveaway items away from the curb to avoid confusion, and only take items marked free. Visit york.ca/Bindicator for information on how to donate, recycle, or properly dispose of any remaining items.

Upcoming dates:

• July 25
• August 29

For more information and to print a FREE curb alert poster, visit york.ca/CurbsideGiveaway.

Celebrate freedom by joining Mayor and Council at the Emancipation Day Flag Raising Ceremony at the Civic Centre at 3:30 p.m. on July 28. Observed annually on August 1, Emancipation Day commemorates the abolition of slavery in the British Empire and honours the legacy and contributions of Black communities.

Attendees will enjoy an African drumming performance by Negus Medhin and complimentary refreshments. Following the ceremony, attendees can shop and support the following local Black-owned businesses participating in Music and Market Night:
• Budsheaven Bakery
• Diva Creations Skin and Hair Care
