Due to poor weather, the annual Earth Day Community Clean-up has been rescheduled for May 4.
The annual clean-up, organized by Heather Colberg is set to go next Thursday. She reports that more than 100 businesses, church groups, schools, and clubs along with numerous individuals are ready to pitch in.
Along with making our community cleaner, as it turns out, it’s a Canadian thing to do. In fact, Community Clean-up is number 64 on the ParticipACTION Canada 150 activity Playlist, and the local Canada 150 committee is also encouraging as many residents as possible to take part.
The Clean-up goes from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday, May 4. There will be GFL green bins placed in areas throughout town. Simply grab your gloves, show up at any of the meeting spots, grab a garbage bag and get picking.
Following the clean up from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., GFL is hosting a volunteer appreciation barbecue at the Badlands Community Facility. Come down and meet representatives and recharge after all the hard work.
For more information or to volunteer, contact Heather Colberg at healthercolberg@icloud.com or 403-823-0811 or Tia Leone Briggs at 403-821-1635.
