Wild Rose Old Tyme Fiddlers Association
– In your community. PRESENTS AN OPEN MIC – OLD TIME JAMBOREE
Every Thursday evening starting 7:00 pm at North Glenora Community Hall we host a music jamboree. We have a core of musicians on stage; others sign up to take a turn to sing or play their instrument with the assistance of those backup musi-cians. Or if dancing is your thing – come out to listen to old time music and dance the night away. If you play an instru-ment but do not want to go on stage you are welcome to play in the circle on the floor with the other musicians. We general-ly have about 50 plus people on a Thursday night – some come to dance, other comes to just listen. We sell tickets on a “Chase the Ace” 50/50 Raffle Draw each night – at present the Progressive Pot is worth just over $500.
Admission is $5.00 and everyone is welcome – includes coffee, tea and a light lunch served approximately 8:00 p.m.
For more information contact Wayne Kirk at 780-722-9428 Come check us out on a Thursday night at North Glenora Com-munity Hall, 13535 – 109A Avenue, Edmonton or visit our web-site: www.wildrosefiddlers.org.

The Holiday Season is drawing near and while this is an ex-
citing, warm, family-filled time of the year, it’s also when we
send the most waste to the landfills. Albertans generate more
garbage per capita than anywhere else in Canada at nearly
1000kg per person per year with the national average coming
in at 700 kilos. After Christmas, the Edmonton Waste Manage-
ment Centre receives twice the amount of garbage as it does
in other months.
Christmas Trees - Live trees are the more sustainable choice. Although a fake tree should technically last year after year, research shows that they are discarded as they become less attractive after repeated use, often ending up in the landfill. Artificial trees use up resources during manufacture and transport and are made from the petroleum product, PVC. If you have an artificial tree you’d like to discard, it can be dropped off at the Reuse Centre free of charge so long as it’s in a box and all parts are included.
Live trees are generally locally grown and sold, contribute to air quality while they’re growing, and are recycled into mulch after the holiday season. Edmonton will pick up live trees for recycling starting on January 9, 2020. It’s really important to make sure all decorations and garland are removed before placing your unbagged tree next to your regular garbage for pick up. Trees will be picked up by the end of January, not necessarily on your scheduled garbage day. Also note that large trees should be cut into 2 m lengths.
Decorations - Choose quality decorations that will be able to be used year after year. Bring unwanted holiday decorations, bows and ribbons, and wreaths to the Reuse Centre. Strings of lights and other electronic items should be brought to your local eco station to be discarded.
Gifts - This is the area I really struggle with when trying to cre-ate a more sustainable Christmas. When I was little, Christmas was so special. While I absolutely loved spending time with family and the warm feelings that came along with this beau-tiful season, the presents were really important too! We did-n’t get gifts all year long like many kids do now; so Christmas was one of two times during the year we received new toys. I have family members and friends in the neighbourhood who would be more qualified to write this section that do things like giving experience-based gifts, talking to kids from a young age about the lack of importance of material items and the impact of new things on the environment. I will try to reduce
the number of gifts I buy my kids and will look for gently used items before buying new. In our family we also go through our toys in November, and send the ones that are still in good shape to the Salvation Army and other charities.
Gift Wrap - 540,000 tonnes of gift wrap, gift bags and tape are discarded in Canada each year after Christmas. Foil wrap, tape and ribbon are not recyclable, so try to use non-foil paper and minimal tape and ribbon. This will make the paper easy to reuse or recycle. Better yet, use fabric bags, a scarf, or some other creative way to wrap your gifts this year. You can even get a roll of brown postal packaging paper and some holiday rubber stamps and let the kids make the gift wrap this year!
Wishing you all the very best of the holiday season and a sustainable new year!
