Throwback Thursday
Goin’ way back to our live-poultry hauling days… do you recognize any of these guys?!
Adopt a Road
The Chilliwack Adopt a Road program was initiated by a local Scouts troop, the TCS Rosedale Scouts, and has expanded to include many other local organizations. Under the Adopt a Road program, organizations and non-profit groups contribute to the community by cleaning litter from local roads on a regular basis.
As part of our commitment to community, Denbow has adopted a road near our facility in Chilliwack. Craig and Todd took care of the road recently, collecting bags of litter. Great job, guys!
Technology Flash-back
We have been digging deep into our storage areas here at the Denbow office… spring cleaning! It’s fun to see how things have changed as we have grown and technology has advanced. We have discovered some extinct technology in the closets that have given us a blast from the past. Some younger staff members here don’t even know what the first item is – do you??!
We have a big load of old stuff to take to the recyclers!
