Just in time for gardening season, the city will take on 200 households to begin composting in their yards.

Participants in the initiative will be given a free compost bin, aerating tool and kitchen catcher, plus training and ongoing support on how to compost.

In a release, Lauren Maris, Environmental Program Specialist, says, “We hear from residents that they are interested in composting, but don’t know how to start,”  Maris adds, “We have eliminated the barriers to backyard composting by offering the tools and providing the expertise. We teach participants how to compost properly, so smells or pests aren’t a problem.”

Since the program began five years ago, more than a thousand households have been committed to composting with a goal in reducing the amount of waste sent to the landfill.

While plans for the hospital expansion move forward, healthcare doesn’t wait. Patients in our community need access to life-saving technology today, and your generosity makes that possible. 


This year’s lottery will fund essential new and replacement equipment, ensuring your hospital can continue to serve the 500,000 people who rely on it. When you purchase your ticket, you’re investing in innovation, excellence, and a healthier future for Central Alberta.
