Reminder: Awards Season is On Its Way! ...continued
Nominate a deserving portable sanitation professional by February 2 , 2018
The award namesake won the first Volunteer of the Year Award in 2015. Flay had the following to say in 2016, and it still rin gs
true today:
"Glenda and I alway s said the reason we enjoyed volunteering for the PSAI was
because it gave us an opportunity to give back to an industry that had given so
much to us. While volunteering, we met so many people who shared ideas and
helped us learn how to build a successful portable restroom operation. As a
volunteer you have the opportunity to help create new programs and help shape
the future of our industry, thus helping others in the industry. To have an award
named in your honor is a very humbling experience and it was q uite a surprise
and quite an honor for us. Additionally, I think if Glenda were here she would say
the time we spent as volunteers was fun, exciting at times, and a wonderful way
to meet people and gr ow friendships that will last a lifetime. Glenda would a lso
say, 'Get involved and start enjoying the rewards!'"
Nominations for all three awards are due to the PSAI office before February 2, 2018.

Something to Think About Before Renting to Protesters
Not all cities allow rented portable toilets on public lands, which caused issue for a group of activists in
British Columbia
Protestors on Burnaby Mountain learned a lesson in city
laws the hard way. In order to be present and watchful
of Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain expansion project,
activists set up three portable restrooms for
themselves. However, the city of Burnaby had them
removed because mobile toilets are not allowed on
public lands. They eventually bought their own toilet,
but still may be facing a $500 ticket.
