Community Sustainability Plan » Family Sustainability Project

The Family Sustainability Project was a three day, three challenge event aimed at getting families involved in making the Town of Ajax a greener and happier place. The contest was held from September 14-16, each day having its own green theme. Families were challenged to be creative in their challenge entry and submit a video or picture as proof of them completing the tasks. The families then had their names entered into a draw to win one of three prizes!
