Abbotsford , B.C. Following the success of its shredding events held in Langley, Envision Financial is proud to partner with Iron Mountain and the� Abbotsford Police Department to bring Shred It and Forget It! to Abbotsford. Members of the public are invited to bring their documentation to Envision Financials Town Centre location where Iron Mountain will provide onsite secure paper shredding by donation.
