Lethbridge Sport Council litter cleanup

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 Volunteer Newsletter to be the first to know about opportunities to make a difference in your community.

5. Volunteer in an upcoming community litter cleanup or local event!

A Run to Remember

Volunteer with us at the inaugural Run to Remember on September 29 at Mountain View Cemetery.

Volunteer Opportunities:

Volunteer Check-In: Check in volunteers as they arrive, provide them with a safety vest.

Course Marshals: Work at positions along the course, ensuring runners are on the path, as well as cheering them on as they run by.

Refreshment Stations: Help hand out refreshments at the end of the race.

Start/Finish Line: Ensure participants are lined up for the correct race and hand out medals once they cross the finish line.

Most positions will start at 9:30 a.m. and finish at 11:30 a.m.
