Contest

I don’t know about where you live, but here in Sudbury it’s raining, which reminds me that Fall is coming. It’s time to give away a CanSpec sweatshirt, hoodie, toque and wine kit!

If you remember way back when, I posted a picture of our collection of coffee cups that we decided to divert from landfill and began composting. Be the person to come closest to guessing how many cups you think we diverted from November 17th 2010 to May 5th 2011 and you’ll win the the sweatshirt, hoodie, toque and wine kit (includes wine opener, bottle stopper and neck protector – keeps the red wine from dripping down the bottle). We had about 19 people working in the office during that time.

Comment below, or go to our facebook.com/canspec page to comment there. Contest ends September 1st. Good luck!

The beginning: November 2010.

The End: May 2011.

New Year, New Look

If you’re reading this, then you probably already noticed we have a new look!

The website has been streamlined and freshened up thanks to the good folks at Xray Sierra. Why bother you might ask? Well, a website is like anything else in your life that welcomes people. You want it to set the best impression and you want to make sure it stays current and interesting. Think of your living room, or the room in your house where you do the most entertaining. It’s welcoming, functional, nice to look at and comfortable. That’s how I like to think about websites. I hope you’ll enjoy ours and easily be able to find the information you need.

Check out a new feature, our partner directory. Here you will find a list of local companies who understand how the ecoENERGY Retrofit Program works, and more importantly, understand how to help you make your home more energy efficient.

What do you think of the new look? Any suggestions for content?

Tis the Season

CanSpec dropped a couple of trucks of food off at the Garson Food Bank today. ‘Tis the Season to remember how fortunate we are, and share that good fortune with others!

CanSpec elves Rob, Gilles and Ryan, along with Gil and Jeff from the Garson Foodland load up the truck with donations.

Surprises make for a good day.

What a nice surprise we had here today at the  Sudbury office. Dave and Carrie (far left, wearing black) from Rewind 103.9 stopped in with coffee and sweets.

From CanSpec, that’s Sabrina and Gilles from QA, Helene in Adminstration and Don, a Certified Energy Advisor in the back row. Sam, a Customer Service Rep and Tammy from QA are in the front.

The caffeine and sugar should keep us going for a few hours! Thanks Rewind 103.9.
