Curbside Giveaway Days
The next Curbside Giveaway Day in King is Saturday, September 30. King residents can place unwanted items, labelled FREE, at the curb for others to take for their own use, free of charge. Declutter and find a new home for your unwanted items, or pick up something you want or need for free. Visit www.king.ca/curbsidegiveaway for details.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Connecting with King
In August, the Township updated its phone system, from traditional desk phones to a telephone system that operates from an application on the desktops of our computers. What this means is those with a telephone extension have been issued a new phone number. Those with numbers that can be dialed directly have kept the same phone number.
If you are not sure how to reach your contact at the Township, please call our main line 905-833-5321 and press 9 for the auto-attendant and say the name of the person or press 0 to speak to a ServiceKING representative who will be happy to assist you.
Stay Safe, Shop King
Let’s all remember to watch for the students on the streets and sidewalks this month. And please thank one of King’s crossing guards as they do that important job of keeping students safe.
Please continue to volunteer, shop locally as much as you can and visit king.ca for the latest news on all things King.
Sincerely,
Mayor Steve Pellegrini
