On February 4, 2013,the Royal Canadian Mint will begin to phase out the penny. The Government of Canada is encouraging Canadians to donate their pennies to charities.
Today, we launched a penny drive campaign at several locations in Toronto:
- Dr. Navid Sarooshi’s Dental Office
- Forest Hill Orthodontics
- Scotiabank (King & Bathurst branch)
- Alternative Grounds
- Beadle
A big thank you to our supporters for hosting our penny boxes! We now have 50 boxes circulating around Toronto!
Want to host a penny box?
You can request a penny box by emailing us or calling us at 416-222-6581.
