Letters to the mayor

     In our third term of school we used our writing skills to reach out to community leaders, friends, and a guest artist.  Our first letter was to Mayor Bowman.  

     We were very troubled by the fact that most restaurants in the city of Winnipeg don't recycle.  We had corresponded with Subway last year about why they don't have recycling bins in their restaurants.  They explained that the city didn't pick up their recycling and they felt it should be the responsibility of the city. When we met Mayor Katz in June 2014, he seemed to think it was too expensive for the city to be picking up recycling from restaurants. When Mayor Bowman was elected we thought we would try again.  Here are a few samples of our letters.
