This year JR & Metro Vancouver are encouraging you to create memories, not garbage when shopping for holiday gifts!

Create memories, not garbage this holiday season by doing one thing differently to create less waste. The holidays often come with extra waste that we don’t experience at other times of the year – gifts, gift packaging, online packaging, disposable wrapping, decorations, special food, etc. Instead of defaulting to your standard list of gift ideas, create less waste by giving experiences or gifts that are made to last.

Find Metro Vancouver’s Merry Memory Maker through creatememoriesnotgarbage.ca and select a low-waste ‘experience’ or ‘thing’ that is $100 or less.

Enter that gift idea on this page below for your chance to win a $100 Visa gift card to purchase that gift for yourself or a loved one!

Make this a Christmas to remember, without the waste.

Visit the Merry Memory Maker to browse over 200 low-waste gift ideas sorted by gift-type and price range.
