TASNG events a plenty

The TASNG team has started the year full steam ahead taking up the challenge with McDonalds to get recycle bins on site, (as most of their wrappings are recyclable), securing resources to tackle graffiti in the town centre, liaising with Council and Biriban LALC to have local hero Biriban more significantly recognised in the Foreshore Masterplan, supporting the very enthusiastic sewers of Boomerang Bags sessions at Toronto library (next session is 13/5/23) and hosting a Repair-It café at the Hub.
