yourguide C L Earth Day Gift W • Every Earth Day, CAA Manitoba recycles used batteries, tires and oil dropped off by members. The association then puts the proceeds to good use, handing them over to FortWhyte Alive to help fund their nature programs. The 2012 event drew 3,000 visitors, whose 1,917 litres of oil, 237 tires and 111 batteries yielded $934.40. At press time, we were looking forward to this year's Earth Day event – April 20 at CAA Service Centres and April 21 at FortWhyte Alive – to be just as successful. • • Mo Sa & an In CA 20 CAA Manitoba's Tim Scott delivers a cheque to FortWhyte Alive's Jackie Stephen after Earth Day 2012.
