Happy Earth Day!
This year’s Clean Up was one of our best ever!
Thanks are extended to everyone pitching-in at the 35th annual Earth Day Clean Up of Oakville nature sites on Saturday, April 18th.
~Oakville’s parks, ravines, woodlots, lakefront and trails received a great spring cleaning thanks to the efforts of almost one hundred Site Coordinators who greeted the volunteers at their Clean Up sites.
~More than 1,500 volunteers pitched-in at 70 nature sites throughout Oakville.
~More than 3,700 kilograms of waste and metal was removed from the seventy nature sites.
~Major Sponsors included the Oakville Parks and Open Space Department, Halton Region Waste Management, Film.ca, Panago Pizza and Starbucks.
~The enthusiasm and support for the campaign continues to grow year after year.
~Oakville is clearly establishing itself as an anti-littering community that highly values the natural environment thanks to the annual Clean Up, the daily work of Parks employees, the Parks Ambassadors and the dog walkers and nature lovers who pitch-in to clean up as they enjoy the outdoors.
~Congratulations, Oakville and a very happy Earth Day to all!
Sincerely,
Stephen Dankowich, Executive Director,
