Parents should monitor their teens

June 17, 2014 · 0 Comments

While walking my dogs in Nobleton parks, I have been picking up many empty water bottles with holes burned in the side presumably for hashish smoking.
If parents of teens haven’t enough to monitor, I would humbly suggest that they add “keeping tabs on water bottles not adding up on recycling day” to their list.
There are garbage cans throughout the park where these bottles can be disposed of yet, it seems that whoever is doing it does not care.
Rather than phoning the police, I thought that this would be a gentler way in keeping our parks green.

The King Township Food Bank (KTFB) is facing an alarming rise in demand for its services, and the organization is calling on the community for urgent support to continue meeting the growing needs of local families.

Despite King Township’s reputation as a wealthy area, food insecurity has long been a reality for many, particularly lower-income families, rural workers, and seniors on fixed incomes. This year, the need has skyrocketed, with the food bank reporting a 66% increase in individuals served since the beginning of 2023.
