The City of Toronto has passed a bylaw which requires all retailers to charge 5 for plastic bags. Winners encourages you to use reusable bags instead, to help reduce the need for plastic bags. All plastic bag net proceeds will go towards environmentally responsible initiatives to make our stores greener. For more information about this new bylaw (The City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 604, Packaging), visit www.toronto.ca/garbage.
