Ok, we've got some exciting news to share with you!

When we started Waterloo-Wellington Community Haul, we quickly realized how much more there was to showcase all over Southern Ontario, and that we could pack even more community punch by expanding who we put in our boxes.

We have decided to hand the Waterloo-Wellington CH reins over to our friends at Hamilton-Halton Community Haul, who will be taking over from here on out, and creating the Southern Ontario Community Haul. A haul filled with goodies from all over Southern Ontario, delivered right to your door, every month like always.

If you are a current subscriber, watch out for your email for more details on what this means and what exciting things are in store!

This account will be coming to a close on March 31, so head over to to keep up with all things Southern Ontario Community Haul!
