Jacket Racket Drive honors Waste Reduction Week The purpose of Waste Reduction Week in Canada, this year October 15-21, is to celebrate our environmental efforts and achievements while encouraging new innovative ideas and solutions. The program’s educational resources and “take action” messaging empower all Canadians to adopt more environmentally conscious choices. Jacket Racket is a Calgary program which has been providing clean, gently used winter jackets to Calgary children since 1988. The project runs every year from mid-October to mid-November. Coats, snow pants, hats and mittens are collected, sorted and distributed by a group of dedicated volunteers. The distribution is done through the Calgary Board of Education and the Calgary Catholic School District. In celebration of Waste Reduction Week, we have scheduled our very popular Jacket Racket Drive from October 8 to October 19. Please bring in your jackets, ski pants, hats and mitts in good clean condition and we will donate them for distribution throughout the school system and emergency shelters.
