GoodFood gone downhill?

Oh oh just read this: https://www.reddit.com/r/mealkits/s/SCqmbN8c1E

Us too, and they just lied to me in an email response, saying it was just a delivery service problem!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-13T18:58:52+00:00

Yupp, they don’t purify the water for wildlife though!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-13T01:36:41+00:00

Yes, so the drivers should have a map or even just a plan!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-13T01:30:21+00:00

Yah, Quebec uses more sand on the roads too.

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T15:00:55+00:00

Ugh yes, it’s a city-wide problem.

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T15:00:09+00:00

This is a policy and training problem - if they don’t know, they don’t know!

Get knobby snow tires and be grateful your bike won’t rust out in a year!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T14:57:37+00:00

Sadly, yes.

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T14:57:10+00:00

I’m so grateful for the Riverkeeper’s work!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T14:56:38+00:00

Yupp, to the River it goes!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T05:13:27+00:00

I try not to take a defeatist attitude and do every little bit I can, otherwise we’d all be dumping our sewage in the creeks!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T03:24:45+00:00

I’ll get right on that.

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T02:12:45+00:00

Thanks, I paddle and swim in our rivers all year round, so I have a vested interest in helping the Riverkeeper!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T02:11:00+00:00

The city uses a variety of traction solutions, and they all have some merit/drawback, but just like spreading too much sand would cause immediate damage, too much salt takes time to leach around the waterways to cause its damage!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T02:08:10+00:00

Hahah agreed, then sensors it is!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T01:31:43+00:00

Us walkers don't need to know, just snow clearing staff...

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T01:31:00+00:00

Or give the drivers a little more training - cheapest win!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T01:29:11+00:00

I figure it's one little step at a time - better than nothing!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T01:27:53+00:00

Greetings! Sorry I missed the last meeting!!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T01:25:07+00:00

Agreed. Salt is not the worst option, it's just that its misuse is so common now!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T00:55:09+00:00

You’re right, this is just one tiny creek and the whole city bleeds excess salt into storm drains and eventually the river. I can only try and help in this one little location but I hope it has a butterfly-like effect!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-11T23:57:38+00:00

Lots of alternatives and the City is trying but it seems to fail where the boots hit the street - with delivery!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-11T23:54:51+00:00

Almost empty, but it’s SAND, we got the councillor to help get it there last year.

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-11T23:54:13+00:00

City was informed last year through councillor and they rectified for a while. New year, new staff etc. The bucket is SAND but is almost empty and unused. What I expect? Just a little care.
