Quesnel loves Trekkies

Any exciting new program - save your business money and be green

Our corporation has done a few trips across the province with the business improvement areas in Quesnel (Downtown, South and West).  We have imaginative, exciting conversations about the potential of Quesnel and interesting things we, as community tax payers, community leaders, community members, want to see in Quesnel.  Today one of those ideas that was discussed on a trip is coming to life.  And I have to admit that I'm excited about the potential of this idea.

We are opening an exchange of supply materials for Quesnel and area businesses.  We are hoping to match up businesses that have "waste" with businesses that can make use of the "waste" - making it no longer waste and giving some products a longer life.

Our kick off item comes from a green minded business, The Outlaw, located on Reid Street under Granville's.  They had a large shipment of sandals come in for their summer season and with the sandals came piles of this...

FOAM

The foam pieces are white or blue and could be used for shipping for businesses that are transporting things away from Quesnel or maybe a classroom in Quesnel has an art project or an artist has a project  or some innovative growing medium or...  we have 2 garbage bags full of the foam.

These are available for FREE - from our office.  Simply call us at 250.992.3522 or email agoffic@quesnelinfo.com.  

We would like to be a location for free exchange for businesses - do you have something you know could be re-used by another business and don't want to throw it in the land fill - do you need shipping materials or other items for your business and this could be a cost-savings for your company - let us know if you have something or are looking for something - we are happy to connect businesses and support a positive green exchange program!
