You are invited! Save Money with a Rain Barrel
I know April in Calgary is just as likely to see snow as it is
rain, but if not this month, then soon you will be thinking
about gardening and lawn care. But did you know watering
your yard can account for 30 per cent of your annual water
bill? Rain barrels help conserve water and save you money.
Green Calgary will be hosting a number of events this
spring where you can purchase a rain barrel and other
green products for your home, as well as providing some
free advice. Call 403-230-1443 or visit greencalgary.org.
With a number of major topics under discussion, includ-
ing Green Line, the Event Centre, fluoride and many oth-
ers, keep an eye on my website for the most recent up-
403.531.9130 stmu.ca dates and to contact me directly at www.shanekeating.ca.
