[All] Rain barrel sales across Kitchener & Waterloo

[Greening Sacred Spaces Waterloo Region]

Dear GREN and Transitioners,

You may have already heard about the rain barrel sale that is taking place in several locations in Kitchener and one location in Waterloo.

I'd like to tell you about the sale I'm coordinating, to raise funds for MacGregor Senior Public School in Waterloo.

The information about the sale is below!

MacGregor Senior Public School hosts only Waterloo location for 

April 27 Rain Barrel Blitz 

 

For Immediate Release
 

 

WATERLOO, April 2, 2013- MacGregor Senior Public School is accepting pre-sale orders for a Rain Barrel fundraising sale scheduled for Saturday, April 27th at the Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex from 10:00 a.m. to noon. 

 

Rain barrels are being sold for $50 each and funds raised will support MacGregor's school activities. 

 

This rain barrel distribution is part of REEP Green Solutions' RAIN Barrel Blitz initiative, and is the first year that the annual rain barrel distribution (formerly coordinated by the Region of Waterloo) will be done by community groups.

 

In past years Region of Waterloo residents queued to purchase rain barrels at one of the three locations across the region; this year residents can choose to support their favourite charity that is participating in the rain barrel program, and choose from a number of locations.

 

MacGregor's sale at the Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex will be the sole Waterloo rain barrel sale location. 

 

Purchasers have a choice of colours and each rain barrel comes equipped with all the parts you need to set up your barrel These environmentally friendly products were once used to transport fruits and vegetables and have been refurbished and repurposed to offer years of reliable service as rain barrels. 

 

All orders must be placed online in advance at www.RainBarrel.ca/MacGregor. 

 

Questions about the sale can be directed to the school office 519-885-6200.

 

Why install a rain barrel?

Rain barrels capture and store rain water collected from roofs through downspouts. They provide chlorine-free and fluoride-free water which is ideal for flowers, vegetables, lawns, shrubs and trees. Collected water has a number of other uses including washing cars, cleaning floors, laundry and more. These many uses can provide cost savings and conservation opportunities for every homeowner, especially those who pay to have water trucked in, use a well or have a water meter installed
