Have you started Spring cleaning? Did you come across any Household Hazardous Waste? There is a surprising amount of material in our homes that is considered hazardous. Even products that may not seem hazardous, like compact fluorescent light bulbs, batteries, and toiletries, contain hazardous materials. It is important that these items be properly disposed. On Saturday, June 8 there will be a Household Hazardous Wast Collection from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm at the Fire Hall. Be sure to bring your household hazardous waste to this event!

For a list of common items check out this link:http://www.mmsb.nf.ca/uploads/file/HHW%20Accepted%20%20Materials.pdf

Discover Placentia with Steve Mills! The next session in the Discover Placentia Speaker Series is set for 7:00 pm on Thursday, November 29th at the Placentia Bay Cultural Arts Centre.

For years, Steve Mills has played an important role in the archaeology of the Placentia area by directing and conducting excavations in addition to completing the associated historical research. In 2007, he shared his knowledge and expertise in an archaeological field course supported by the Town of Placentia, Service Canada and the College of the North Atlantic.

For his talk, Steve Mills will share his understanding and interpretations of the history that, since 2006, has been revealed in the annual archaeological excavations in Placentia as well as through historical research. He will also take some time to present some of the findings from the analysis of artefacts discovered during the most recent excavation this past summer.

We’ve all seen the cluster of determined and committed archaeologists working at the various sites over the years in Placentia. So, come listen to Steve Mills as he explains some of what they’ve discovered and learned!

Free admission. Tea, coffee, juice and sweets will be served
