April 22 to 26 is Community Cleanup Week
With spring in the air, homeowners, families, businesses, students and community leaders are encouraged to volunteer in the City’s annual Community Cleanup Week.
The kick-off week takes place April 22-26. Groups of all sizes are invited to volunteer in cleaning up our parks, green spaces, trails and schoolyards. Registered participants will receive free garbage bags and gloves (while supplies last) and a certificate of appreciation for their contribution to the community. To register or learn more, including choosing a community clean-up area or finding a group, visit Oshawa.ca/CleanupWeek or email [email protected].
As part of the annual initiative, Communities with Brooms will return for a downtown spring cleaning on Tuesday, April 23, beginning at 11:30 a.m. Following the event, participants are invited to attend a barbecue lunch sponsored by Oshawa M.P. Colin Carrie. To register for Communities with Brooms, email [email protected].
The City of Oshawa would like to thank our event sponsors: TD and Swish for their continued support.
Mark your calendar! In addition to Community Cleanup Week, join the Mayor’s downtown clean up events Saturday mornings on May 25 and June 22 and September 7 with Friends of Second Marsh. All volunteers will receive supplies, including gloves, maps and garbage bags (while supplies last). To register or learn more, visit Oshawa.ca/CleanupWeek.
