ON THE HOME FRONT Hues You Can Use I t can be daunting, trying to decide between all those equally captivating colours at your local paint store. And with Cloverdale Paint's new Artisan designer palette now in the mix, there are even another 228 options to waffle over this summer. Thankfully, Artisan colours are not your typical, new-season "trendy" paint colours. They're the most in-demand custom colours in western Canada — relied on by professional designers and decorators for both performance and style. In other words, they're the best of the best. Still waffling? See the colours for yourself at any Cloverdale Paint store. The deal: BCAA Members save 30% on all Cloverdale Paintmanufactured paints*; plus, 20% on regular-priced brushes, rollers and other painting accessories. WIN!!

But according to Environment Canada, disposing of their remains has become a complex and problematic matter, with as many as 10,000 vehicles abandoned each year on roads and highways, where they become an expensive public responsibility. Yet there is a great way to get rid of your old clunker and help the environment and support two great causes: the BCAA Road Safety Foundation and the Kidney Foundation. All it takes is one phone call, and your truck, motorcycle, car or trailer — even ATV and farm equipment — will be towed for free and the de-registration paperwork taken care of. Plus, donors receive a tax receipt. Contact the Kidney Car Line (be sure to mention you are a BCAA Member) at: 1-888-538-1057; lorik@kidney.bc.ca i Details at bcaaroadsafety.com CHANGES TO THE B.C.
