We’ve held three EAB Ambassador training workshops across Toronto and York Region, recruiting over 100 new EAB Ambassadors this spring, bringing us to a total of 337 active Ambassadors!
Throughout the summer, we’re partnering with community groups and local Councillors, going door-to-door to educate residents about EAB in selected neighbourhoods in Toronto. Our goal is to reach 12,000 households – so far we’ve reached about 2000 households! We need your help to reach our goal. Sign up here for as many dates as you can!
And we’ve created a new EAB video. It’s an easy and quick way to raise awareness on this urgent issue. Please share it right now!
