Pitch-In Canada Week

During the week of April 19 to 25, 2010, communities across Canada participated in “PITCH-IN CANADA Week”, by asking individuals, clubs, schools and resident groups to volunteer their time to collect litter in parks, valley lands, open space and boulevards. Once again, the Best Western Parkway Hotel and its staff participated in this event to help make our community a cleaner place to live.

The 20-minute Makeover 

On April 24, 2009, family members, friends, and work colleagues, and even individuals gathered in different areas in the GTA, York Region, and other surrounding areas to participate in the 20-minute makeover!  Groups would pick a clean up location and then proceed to pick up litter for 20 minutes. 

Our hotel chose the greenery fronting Highway 7 and Leslie St.  With great participation from all departments, we managed to make it look VERY green. 

What a difference 20 minutes make!



 		  

Monthly York Region Transit Bus Passes

The Best Westerm Parkway Hotel continues to provide their employees with the option of purchasing discounted York Region Transit Bus Passes on a monthly basis.  This is another way to encourage employees to travel to work differently, and at the same time, reducing single occupant vehicles on the road.
