To honour Earth Day, the PAC partners with The Developmental Disabilities Association to host a clothing and houseware drive.  This event helps to declutter homes and reduce our landfills, while raising funds for the school and for a good cause.  ALL REVENUE generated by the Association from the drive goes to helping people with development disabilities.   

How does it work?

Bring your unwanted clothes and housewares to the school.  The PAC receives a fee per full bag, or equivalent (for household and other donations), if we reach a minimum of 75 bags.  ​
Collect 75-150 full bags, the school receives $2.00 per bag,
Collect at least 151 bags, the school receives $3.00 per bag.

What about cans & bottles?

The Grade 7 students host a bottle drive on the same day to raise funds for their graduation, but you don't have to wait for the day of the drive.  Click here to learn how you can support the Grads year-round by easily dropping off your recyclables at the Return-It-Depots in North Road and Kensington Square Plaza.
