By working together to clean up our streets, parks and neighbourhoods, we can build connections and make a positive impact. We all look forward to this event each year, and it's inspiring to see so many people come out and take action to make our community a better place. Let's continue to work together and make Lloydminster a clean and beautiful city that we can all be proud of."
Mayor Gerald Aalbers
“By collaborating and working together, we can make a positive impact on our community and preserve our environment for future generations. Let's unite and take action to ensure that our city remains a clean and healthy place to live, work and play. As responsible members of our community, it’s our duty to maintain a clean and beautiful environment. Litter and garbage not only deteriorate the appearance of our surroundings but also have adverse effects on our environment and wildlife.
