Calgary Ditches Bag Fees, Accessory Requests: Single-Use Bylaw Repealed 

Attention retailers who use single-use bags, napkins or condiments: The Calgary City Council has voted to repeal its Single-Use Items Bylaw. Effective immediately, businesses are no longer mandated to charge customers for single-use paper or reusable bags or enforce requests for food accessories like napkins or condiments. While this decision has stirred debate, businesses can still uphold eco-friendly practices voluntarily.
