Joining a community cleanup is one of the easiest and most rewarding ways to make a real difference in your neighbourhood. By taking part, you’re not only helping to keep our spaces cleaner and greener, but you’re also contributing to a sense of pride and togetherness in your community. Grab some gloves, bring your friends and family, and let’s work together to make our community shine!
In 2025 you have two opportunities to get involved!
We encourage you to participate in both!
