Mississauga.com (Mississauga, ON): Saving money and the Earth

Posted October 22, 2010 by OneChange

Canadian Tire is urging residents to help save the environment this weekend.

At five of its Mississauga locations, Canadian Tire is partnering with One Change, a non-profit community-based organization that raises awareness of environmental issues such as climate change, to get the message — and savings — out to customers.

One Change representatives will be handing out Canadian Tire money-saving coupons and a free digital tire gauge, identical to the ones being delivered door-to-door by volunteers in the past week. A demonstration will be provided to show guests how to check and adjust their tire pressure on their vehicles.
The goal, officials say, is to make the community aware of earth-friendly ways to help the environment, such as keeping car tires properly inflated.
The event will be hosted at the following Canadian Tire locations:

• 1156 Dundas St. E. (Friday, 4-8 p.m.)

• 5970 Mavis Rd. and 6670 Meadowvale Town Centre Circle (Saturday, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.)

• 900 Southdown Rd. and 3050 Mavis Rd. (Sunday, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.)
