Image

UPDATED OCTOBER 12: The draw has been extended to Monday, October 31. Good luck filling out your passports!

Alternatives has partnered with World Accord for their Passport to Sustainability Tour. You and a friend could win a chance to sit at David Suzuki's table for a four-course, locally-sourced dinner at Borealis' beautiful Kitchener location OR a two-week trip to Honduras to build a school in a highland village.

Grab a passport from Alternatives or any of the other community partners listed at World Accord's website, and get it stamped by a minimum of four partners. It's a great way to learn about local, sustainable businesses and organizations.

Drop off your card during business hours at the World Accord office, 185 Frobisher Drive, Waterloo.
The draw will be at 3pm on Monday Oct. 31 at World Accord office.

Get your stamp at any of these locations.

Passport to Sustainability

It would be nice for people outside of southern Ontario to be included in this contest. I live in Calgary and the REAP Business Association has a similar passport but in coupon form. I'd be well past the four required for your contest.

Re: Passport to Sustainability

Thanks for your feedback! This contest, spearheaded by World Accord, is aimed at building local partnerships and community engagement in the Waterloo Region, and unfortunately doesn't extend out of province.
