Litter On Our Streets


Every year in April for decades we have had a Clean-up day to pick up litter which accumulates on our streets, boulevards, parks and in our schoolyards.

Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 restrictions, we are unable to do so as the city has closed our public parks and ruled that we should not gather in groups, nor meet with family and friends in order to lessen the ability of the virus to spread.

Many of us are going for walks around the community on our streets and in our parks, such as Thompson Memorial and the Birkdale Ravine. Why not take a bag with you and pick up what you see. The west side of McCowan Rd. from Ellesmere to Brimorton Dr. needs some special attention as it is currently overloaded with garbage. 

Because of Covid19, please make sure to take extra precautions and practise safe measures like social distancing. I would recommend that you wear disposable gloves or use a long pair of tongs.

If we all do a little, we can accomplish a lot.
