Community Cleanup

Throughout the winter, litter, dirt and debris accumulates around our community. Through the annual Community Cleanup initiatives, we encourage residents to pitch in with community beautification. Whether it be tidying your own property, picking trash on boulevards or greenspaces, helping clean gutters and excess debris from your neighbourhood or simply encouraging environmentally-friendly habits, we appreciate your efforts!

Within this activation week, we encourage residents to join in on Household Hazardous Waste Round Up and Pitch-In initiatives.
