After the frenzy of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, JoAnn Dalton of Envision Community Living wants to remind us that tomorrow marks "Giving Tuesday".  This is a global initiative that aims to increase awareness surrounding charitable giving as we head into the Christmas season.

"They're trying to get people to think about giving charitably in your local community before the end of the year, and to build that into your budget for this shopping weekend.  What are you doing now to give back?  Because we have three days of get, get, get, and now what are you going to do on Tuesday to give?"

Envision Community Living has partnered with Ste. Anne Co-op here in the south east and is encouraging those who stop in at any of the Ste. Anne Co-op locations tomorrow to drop a toonie into the collection boxes set up at the till.  All of the money raised will go in support of the programs and services offered through Envision.
