Quality Market's BYOB program has successful first year

Year one was a huge success for Quality Market's Bring Your Own Bag program. Co-owner David Stezenko says the program was created after the big chains started charging more for plastic bags so they decided to encourage customers to use reusable bags and donating money to local charities. The first year of the program raised almost 11,000 dollars for the Health Science's Centre, Camp Quality and the RFDA. This year the three charities are Eagle's Cry Life Centre, Shelter House and Habitat for Humanity.
