Mark your Calendars!
Saturday April 26, 10am to noon is our Annual Spring Clean-Up. We will be meeting at 10am at Wellesley Park. All are welcome! The CRA will provide gloves, bag and a few garbage grabbers. If you have gardening gloves, or your own grabber, please bring it!
The Spring clean-up was started by a local resident to address garbage buildup in and around Riverdale Park. That resident then joined the CRA board and it has since become a CRA-led initiative.
Each year local residents’ get together on a Saturday in Spring to clean-up the parks. The CRA liaises with the city for a special garbage pick up, to ensure everything that’s collected is promptly taken away.
The Spring cleanup coincides as close as possible to Earth Day (snow melt permitting!)
More recently, the CRA decided to add in a Fall clean-up day too, to extend the efforts to Wellesley Park, in recognition of World Clean-up Day, which happens in September each year.
