For the previous update see this.

Look what we just found on the website of Toronto’s RENT (Resources Exist for Networking and Training):

A PowerPoint presentation on The Toronto Bed Bug Project!

It elaborates on the Project’s goals and current initiatives, the members and structure of the working groups and other good stuff.

I have to concentrate and read it fully, but this caught my eye on a page describing ongoing work:

Development of public messaging campaign to reduce stigma (“anyone can get bed bugs”) and increase awareness to reduce infestations

and this:

Development of Furniture and Mattress Re-use/Donation protocols

Oh no, you know mattresses are not our favorite subject!

We have our work cut out for us, and we’re not even done with the Cincinnati/Hamilton County plan review.

In any case, enjoy.
