Used eyeglasses needed
The Equality Project is collecting used eyeglasses that are no longer needed and which are in excellent condition. The glasses will be used to help local residents who cannot afford new ones.
The initiative is the result of a request from a person who came to The Equality Project after they fell and broke their glasses, but could not afford to replace them. A volunteer donated three pairs of used glasses, hoping that the frames could be used to reduce the cost of new glasses, but they ended up being the same prescription the person needed, so the optometrist said there was no need to get new ones. The person now has three pairs of glasses, and The Equality Project is hoping to make this happen again.
If you have any used pairs of glasses that you would like to donate, drop them off at the Project’s clubhouse on Stage Road in Cache Creek during their regular hours (Monday to Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.).
Addition to Edge Hills Park
Legislation has been introduced to expand the parks and protected areas system in B.C., contributing to existing ecosystem conservation and expanding opportunities for outdoor recreation. The expansions, proposed through legislative amendments to the Protected Areas of British Columbia Act, include adding 50 hectares to Edge Hills Park near Clinton, in order to enhance wildlife connectivity and protect the Fraser River bluffs.
