We’re proud to be finalists in the 2025 Make a Difference Awards
At Proper Job Resource Centre, people come together to reuse, repair and support one another — helping to reduce waste while strengthening community connections.
This recognition reflects the contribution of volunteers, staff and the wider community who make this work possible.
Reducing Waste and Conserving Resources
You are invited to join training sessions and skill sharing workshops. We regularly offer these to promote the benefits of reducing, reusing and recycling in this modern age.
