"Stand up" for a great cause and enjoy a night of laughs as well! Join us at 7pm for a pre-drink and to learn about what you can do to make a difference in your own household and your community. Bring your toxin-filled household products for safe disposal with our Household Toxin Return Program. Comedy show starts at 8pm.

Lower Your Doses is a WHEN campaign aimed at raising awareness about the toxins (parabens, phthalates, triclosans and musks) present in our everyday household bath and beauty products. Taking action for prevention is key to reducing our health risks!

Each year millions of Canadians and their families are affected by cancer (carcinogens), reproduction issues (endocrine disruptors), and childhood neurological disorders (lead, mercury). Unaware of the toxins that pollute our environment, consumers pay billions of dollars for products that are not properly tested and made with little consideration for the long term health and environmental impacts.
