Worn and Torn donation drive ends Sunday
Whether you're doing some weekend closet organizing or have a pile of old clothes that needs to be donated, Sunday is the last day to donate old clothing and textiles for the Worn and Torn drive.
The Worn and Torn clothing and textile donation drive began on July 2 and ends July 20.
The drive began this year, encouraging Byron residents to donate old textiles, regardless of their condition.
With fast fashion filling landfills, the city of London began the initative in collaboration with Fanshawe College and Goodwill industries in order to recycle and repurpose old textiles.
The main goal is to keep textiles out of the landfill. Items can be brought to the Goodwill Donation Centre at the Oxford Street EnviroDepot, 1570 Oxford St. W., London.

Seagull suffers ‘horrific' injury from discarded wooden barbecue skewer, B.C. rescue says

A carelessly discarded wooden barbecue skewer seriously injured a seagull in White Rock, B.C., according to a wildlife rescue, which is urging people to be more careful with their garbage. The Glaucous-winged gull was spotted earlier this month on the popular White Rock Pier with the 'unusual impalement' piercing its neck, the Wildlife Rescue Association of B.C. said in a statement. 'Although still able to fly, a Wildlife Rescue volunteer skillfully captured the bird and brought them to the facility for care,' a spokesperson wrote. 'The bird was anesthetized, the skewer was carefully removed, and the gull was treated for their injuries. After just over two weeks in care, the gull's wound has healed fully.'

The gull will be released back into the wild Monday after what the organization describes as a 'remarkable recovery' from a 'horrific injury.' The organization encourages anyone who sees an animal in distress to report it online.
