The community association (BMCA) was formed as it is an entity that can apply for grants. The Strata, The Ski Area and the FireSmart board are not eligible to apply for grants.
A small fraction of community members have joined the BMCA. At $20 per property per year, it is a very low cost to support the organization. We did get grant money for start up costs, but there are annual fees to cover. The Community Association has applied for several grants, and has other applications in the works.
You can support your community, by becoming a member, and by taking your empties to Return It Express. Your beverage container refunds go directly in to the Community Association account. Baldy Mountain Resort is supporting the Association by donating their empties from this season. Volunteers will take the empties to town weekly.
RETURN IT EXPRESS
You can bring your recyclables to any “Return in Express” location in BC. “Return it Express” will accept all of your beverage containers. You do not need to sort your beverage containers, just place all your empty recyclable beverage containers in a clear plastic recycling bag (NO pull string bags) and bring it to your nearest recycling depot.
When you drop off your bags all you need to do is print a label using the phone number
250-498-2672, place the label on the bag and leave it in their designated area. They do all the sorting and deposit it into the Baldy Mountain Community Association account.
Any and all contributions are greatly appreciated.
