Come out and join the upcoming spring clean-up and help make Courtenay shine! The City will be hosting its third annual community clean-up event on Saturday, April 26, from 10:00 a.m. until noon.
Community volunteers will meet at the Courtenay Air Park - adjacent to the Rotary Sky Park Playground at 10 a.m., rain or shine, for a safety orientation. City staff will distribute trash pickers/grabbers, bags, and gloves. Volunteers are then invited to pick up trash in the area around the park including nearby trails.
To help get an idea of participation levels, volunteers are being asked to please pre-register at . Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for the event.
Mayor Bob Wells encourages members of the community to join the clean-up. 鈥淲hat began as a simple act of community spirit has grown into an inspiring annual tradition,鈥� said Mayor Bob Wells. 鈥淲e鈥檙e once again calling on residents 鈥� families, friends, neighbours 鈥� to roll up their sleeves and be part of something bigger.鈥�
Garbage and debris in urban and natural environments, if not removed, can get washed into storm drains, creeks, and waterways. Keeping our parks, streets, and sidewalks clean helps keep debris out of the estuary and the ocean.
