Tell Us! How Is the New Recycling Program?

Take the short recycling survey here.

It's been four months since Red Wing's single-sort recycling program rolled out. How is it working for you? Please answer this two-minute survey so we can find out what's working, what's not, if you need more information, and what we can do to make the program better. Thank you! Results will be posted next month on our website and in City Beat.

The 2020 Census - Count Us In

What does "decennial census" even mean? Every ten years (since 1790, for you history buffs), the U.S. Census Bureau conducts a systematic count of every single person in America. Every. Single. One. Why should we care? The 2020 Census helps determine each state's Congressional seats, how much federal funding our area will receive, and much more. This year, there are THREE ways to be counted--online, by phone, or by mail. You can learn more about the census and even find a job with the Census Bureau right here.

Wishing Bonnie Well

Last week, the Sheldon Theatre announced Bonnie Schock will be stepping down to pursue the next chapter of her career with Fox Tuscon Theatre. In her time as the Executive Director of Red Wing's "jewel-box," Bonnie's influence helped boost ticket sales and bring local and national talent onto the Sheldon's stage. We thank Bonnie for her devotion to Red Wing's performing arts community and wish her the best on the next chapter of her career.

All in a Day's Work

After 27 years of working full-time with the Red Wing Fire Department, Captain Scott Will has retired from service. Over the years he responded to countless calls in the community, most memorably reviving an infant early in his career. "Captain Will has made an impression on all the firefighters who come through our doors," said Interim Fire Chief Mike Warner. "We appreciate all of his hard work and dedication." You can watch the heartwarming City Council presentation here.
