CCS unveils name of new store By Bill Rea Chez Thrift is about to change, in terms of both location and name. Dignitaries and supporters of Caledon Community Services (CCS) were on hand last week at the new planned location on Industrial Road in Bolton for the construction launch. They also saw the unveiling of the new name — evolve. “Today is an exciting day for CCS,” Board member Johanna Downey told those assembled. The new store for reselling gently used clothing and other donated items will have about 15,000 square feet, more than doubling the current location. Downey said the new name is appropriate, as it means “to work through a process to achieve change.” She also said Chez Thrift has been accepting donated clothing for years, providing revenue for many of CCS's projects. But there's not enough space at the current location for the sorting of contributions etc. The store made about $750,000 in revenue last year, and that all went back into the community. “I know with the right tools we can do better,” Downey said. “It's going to be magnificent,” CCS Board Chair Carine Strong declared. “We're going to be able to help so many in the community.”  CCS Board Chair Carine Strong and Fundraising Associate Nicole Dumanski unveiled the new name of the planned new retail outlet, as Councillor Johanna Downey looked on. |
