Here's how you can get involved:
1. Adopt your favourite park, playground, shrub bed, green strip or cemetery. The impact of your work is profound and there is no minimum time commitment.
Some common tasks are:
- Weed control
- Litter pickup
- Spreading mulch
- Checking for damage/vandalism
- Shrub/flower bed maintenance
2. One-time litter cleanup. Choose your park and grab some friends or co-workers. These cleanups are a great team building activity for organizations or groups.
3. Neighbourhood cleanup. Get involved and take an active role in improving your neighbhourhood by organizing a community cleanup.
4. Stay informed, stay inspired! Subscribe to our bi-monthly Volunteer Newsletter to be the first to know about opportunities to make a difference in your community.
5. Join an upcoming community litter cleanup!
Join us for dog waste awareness month in May to raise awareness around the importance of picking up after your pet. Cleanups will be held every Thursday in May from 6 - 8 p.m.
Volunteers will help remove doggy doo doo and leave a flag in its place. These flags will stay up for two weeks to help educate the public on this issue.
