A quickie giveaway from Rethinktires.ca

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Fishbowl patrons|Giveaways and product reviews

We have a winner! Thanks for your entries everyone!

I know there are a lot of community-minded folks who are on committees for parks and playgrounds and other community spaces. What if I told you that there is $50,000 grant for use towards a community project with your city’s name on it, just waiting to be claimed? 

Here’s the scoop:

  • Ontario Tire Stewardship’s Community Renewal Fund is a grant program that awards eligible Ontario-based communities and organizations up to $50,000 towards the purchase and installation of Ontario-manufactured recycled rubber products.
  • The grant is open to municipalities, registered non-profit community groups or organizations, schools/colleges/universities, and First Nations communities throughout Ontario.
  • Applicants can visit RethinkTires.ca to learn more and to submit an application.

As a thank you for checking out their website and helping spread the word, the folks at RethinkTires.ca have given me a couple things to give away to one reader anywhere in Ontario:

1) A handy roadside emergency kit to stash in your car. (Everyone should have one!)
2) A Multy Home Lexington Multi-Colored door mat made from recycled rubber.

From Rethinktires.ca

It’s easy. Just leave a comment below and you’re entered!

  • This giveaway is open to residents of Ontario. One entry per email address please.
  • If you can’t post your comment for whatever reason you can email it to me for posting at andrea at quietfish dot com. Please note, I cannot be responsible if your entry is misdirected or gets stuck in my Spam folder.
  • This giveaway is void where prohibited by law.
  • I will draw one name using Random.org at noon EST on October 6 and I’ll contact the winner via email. The name of the winner will be posted here as well. So please check back!
  • Prizing will be mailed to the winner by Rethinktires.ca.

That’s it. Over to you. Good luck!

At first I thought this was a contest for new tires (which I need so I was quite excited) but also the emergency kit is important. Why don’t I have one already???

Though I know it is not eligible, I have been working for years with the school council to raise money for a desperately needed new kinder play structure. It’s slow work and SO much money is needed. Steady on!

Love that butterfly mat.

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Piper who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. We also have two human offspring: Emma (24) and Sarah (22).

The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa.
