Nissan tree program rewards LEAF fans On October 6, Nissan Canada planted the seeds for a new program that rewards Nissan LEAF fans and the Canadian landscape. In partnership with Tree Canada, Nissan Canada will plant one tree for each new `Like' on the Nissan LEAF Facebook page-- up to 12,500 trees. To kick off the program, employees from Nissan Canada and Tree Canada joined forces on Wednesday to plant 50 trees in Moccasin Trail Park, located in East Toronto. Already an active hub for Nissan LEAF and environmental enthusiasts alike, the Nissan LEAF Facebook page is the central point to enter the `We Dig Trees' contest. Users who `Like' the page will be eligible for the grand prize of either a four-day West Coast sailing adventure in British Columbia, or a six-day East Coast whale watching excursion in Newfoundland. --Metroland Media Carguide Magazine 11 WHEELS · Georgetown & Acton · October 13, 2011 SHOP LOCAL When asked to name our favorite restaurant, cafe, or shop, we almost always cite a unique local business (look at the results in our Readers' Choice as proof). We embrace the idea of distinctive businesses with local character, but often forget their survival depends on our patronage. It is easy for us to get so consumed by efficiency that we forget how much of our lives we spend eating out, shopping, and doing other business. We owe it to ourselves to consider the quality of our experience, and ask if we benefit when we choose a community-based business. Local owners with much of their life savings invested in their businesses have a natural interest in the long-term health of the community. Community-based businesses are essential to charitable endeavors, frequently serving on local boards, and supporting a variety of causes. Yes, there are some corporate chains that give back to towns in which they do business, but anyone who raises funds for local non-profits will tell you that independents are their base of support. So... support your neighbors... support our community, shop smart... shop in Halton Hills! SHOPLOCAL SHOP SMART... SHOP HALTON HILLS For advertising information call Ph: 905 873.0301 Fax: 905 873.0398
