Why Benches?

Benches influence people to use the currently under used park

Benches serve useful to every demographic in Fenelon Falls

Suggested by the citizens

Benches require virtually no maintenance

Why Tire Mulch?

Recycle, Environment, Sustainability!

Choosing tire mulch for YOUR project not

only impacts the community of Fenelon

Falls, it impacts our environment!

It’s a WIN WIN situation!

The Sustainable Alternative!

The Ontario Tire Stewardship program is aiming at municipalities to use eco-friendly products for building parks, curbs, and play areas in their communities (Nash, 2012)

Turning shredded tires into a sustainable product makes sure they don’t end up in our landfill sites or be burned into our environment (Nash, 2012)

A OTS poll found that 89% of Ontarians felt their communities would benefit from the use of recycled tire products in community projects (OTS, 2012)

So why tire mulch…WHY NOT!
