Editor:
Habitat for Humanity Sunshine Coast has been working for nearly 20 years to provide affordable housing to low income working families. We are moving our ReStore from its current location to the former Sechelt Legion.
As part of the move, we are cleaning some items out and doing minor renovations. Over the course of several nights, individuals ranging from street involved to well-dressed Acura driving individuals have been dumping their trash into our construction bins. This morning, we found what appears to be the drywall, tile, and toilet from a gutted bathroom in the one of the bins. Why is this worth a letter to the editor? The sneaky, dishonest, illegal dumping will cost us several thousand dollars. Funds that could have been building homes will instead allow a deceitful individual to save a few dollars. For those who dumped, if you didn’t realise the impact of your actions on a charity you could always make a donation to Habitat in recompense.
In frustration,
Douglas Dunn
Executive director, Habitat for Humanity Sunshine Coast
