The Regional Municipality of York to host Rain Barrel Sales event in the Town of Newmarket

 

 

 

The sale is part of York Region's award-winning Water for Tomorrow program, and follows the success of an earlier event held in May in the Town of Georgina, Town of Markham and the City of Vaughan.

 

When:              Saturday, September 20^th

                        7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

 

Where:            Ray Twinney Recreation Complex

                        100 Eagle Street West, Newmarket

Rain barrels are an excellent way to reduce demand for municipal water and help remove the need to water lawns and gardens with treated drinking water.

 

There is a limit of one rain barrel per household. Quantities are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

 

The event is for York Region residents only.  Proof of residency will be required (e.g. driver's license).
