Diabetes Association Still Likes The Penny


The government is giving up on the penny, but the Canadian Diabetes Association still has interest.

Community Initiatives Coordinator Alexandra Erickson says they're asking people to donate as many of the one cents coins they want to the Association.

Erickson says they're foregoing setting up coin boxes to instead ask people directly to send their unwanted pennies, or any other coins, they're not certain what they want to do.

You can contact the Association's Thunder Bay office if you interested in donating.
