This past weekend, Annaleise became the youngest person to swim across Lake Ontario, raising approximately $115,000 for Camp Trillium, a camp for children with cancer.

The grueling swim saw Annaleise battling two-metre swells and 15-knot winds overnight, which, in the rueful words of Humber sailing instructor and lead support-boat skipper Paul Fagan, "slowed her progress to a crawl."

Styrofoam, foil, food wrappers, plastic utensils

Blue = Recyclables, Plastic/Metal/Glass
EMPTY Pop cans, plastic and glass bottles, coffee cups (No liquid in here please!)

Yellow = Newspaper, magazines, note paper, cardboard
In food areas, notice there are Green organic bins. Scrape your food into those! It will be composted, and turned into soil.

For a longer comprehensive list of the type of material that can be put into each bin, and more on Humber’s sustainability actions, visit us online.

If you have ideas or comments on how to make Humber more sustainable, please contact us through the website.
