The Key is going eco-friendly in 2021!
After decades of home delivery, we are making the important move to reduce our carbon footprint. As of the Spring 2021 Key in February, we will be focussing our efforts online with a brand new look! Hard copies will still be available at community agencies and recreational facilities around town (pending current regional COVID-19 reopening status).
Please contact the Key Coordinator at klees@thunderbay.ca if you would like your agency added to the drop-off list.
