3rd ACCESS Fundraising Gala

A successful sold out fundraising event for the ACCESS Youth Outreach Services took place at the Hard Rock Casino in Coquitlam, BC on October 24, 2014. Ethical Waste Services Ltd. was proud to be one of the sponsors along other amazing companies supporting the Youth that will become our future.


We met some great people and made some great connections. Paul has been involved with ACCESS through the volunteering on the Outreach Bus. Recently, he also earned his seat on the Board of Directors. He’s been sharing stories (as much as he can) with others to understand what and why Ethical Waste Services Ltd. is involved with ACCESS. I always thought I have understood, but meeting the staff Paul works with, hearing their stories and meeting them face-to-face has been an eye opener.


It’s been an evening of recognition and amazement about how these people turned their lives around and how they made it their life mission to change lives of others.


Ethical Waste Services Ltd. is honoured to support ACCESS Youth Outreach program and their staff and we are looking forward to the next year of collaboration. We can’t wait to see what the next year will bring…


The ACCESS Outreach Gala raised over $30,000.

What is Asbestos?

Breathing exposed asbestos fibres can cause cancer and other diseases including, asbestois, mesthelima and lung cancer. Does my home contain asbestos?
