Throwaway Thursday: Gift cards to the first 200 shoppers who donate to Clothesline
To mark the occasion of Black Friday shopping gaining popularity across Canada, Ivanhoé Cambridge is collaborating with Clothesline and the Canadian Diabetes Association to encourage consumers to shop responsibly. On Throwaway Thursday, November 28, the public is encouraged to make room for Black Friday purchases in order to make a donation: the first 200 shoppers on November 29 who bring a donation of gently used clothing and footwear to Clothesline will receive a $10 gift card.

Shopping centres will continue to encourage customers to donate their gently used clothing during Black Friday and through December 5.
