On behalf of the 8th Embers unit - Girl Guides, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the management and staff at the Spruce Grove Bottle Depot. Their willingness to provide a space for our girls has turned a chore into a community event. It’s amazing to have a local business that truly supports youth programs! Thank you.
