Spring (not that far away) is a time of renewal, a theme that runs through the latest edition of The Tracker.
As always, this issue is filled with useful and pertinent information. However, we’re also pleased to present a remarkable feature that underscores what can happen when smart minds come together in the world of used tire recycling.
Tire Stewardship BC (TSBC) and partners have transformed Nanaimo’s waterfront Maffeo Sutton Park into “an inclusive and accessible space for children of all ages and abilities …with a focus on active play and engaging sensory experiences.” We think you’ll find it a fascinating read, especially as pour-in-place-rubber (from 3,260 recycled tires) was used to replace the former gravel surface. If you’ve ever wondered if collecting and shipping all those used tires is worth it, be sure to read ‘Play for All’!
There’s more of course, including the return of our popular golf tournament, as well as info on the upcoming WCTD Annual General Meeting, to be held in Kelowna (bring your clubs!). Safety Corner (contributed by safety experts Leigh-Ann Stewart and Debra Haldane) is back, with helpful hints about your safety program, while Federated’s Chris Leahey outlines how to set up an emergency contacts list.
Check it out for ideas on how to hire and keep good techs, service tips from TIA, who’s on the move in the industry—and plenty more.
Spring may not quite yet be here. But The Spring Tracker will get you in the mood!
