Cool Aid Society’s Community Casual Labour Pool is set to clean up Woodwynn Farms.

“This is especially meaningful for our workers,” said Cool Aid Community Casual Labour Pool coordinator Wendy Stone in a press release, “some of whom have had their own experiences with addictions and recovery. They are delighted to have the opportunity to help prepare a farm where more people can recover from their addictions.”
