Celebrate Earth Day with a neighbourhood clean-up!

Beginning Sunday (April 18), the “little libraries” throughout our neighbourhood will be stocked with free Earth Day kits, while supplies list. The kits have outdoor clean-up supplies and some safety tips for how to clean outside while staying safe! Pick up your kit and head out anytime to clean up garbage from parks, green spaces, and boulevards throughout our neighbourhood leading up to Earth Day (Thursday, April 22)! 

It’s a great idea to bring along a separate bag or container to collect any recyclable materials along the way, so you can add them to your recycling bin to avoid extra garbage going to the landfill. 

Please respect COVID-19 public health guidelines and avoid large groups while participating in the clean-up. Follow the safety tips and don’t pick-up anything that may be sharp or dangerous. To report a litter issue, please call the Region of Waterloo’s 24-hour Customer Service Call Centre at 519-575-4400.

Note: Garbage bags of collected litter placed out for curbside garbage collection count as part of the household’s garbage limit. 

Bring a snack!

We’ll take care of the hot chocolate and s’mores. 

Could you bring along your favourite snack to share?

Activities!

• There will be skating (weather permitting) with a warm up zone inside the shed.
• Bring your own sleds or your preferred way to slide down a hill. We’ll even have toddler races down our “bunny hill.”
• Bring what you need for your favourite winter activity: cross country skis, snow shoes, etc.
• We’ll have some races including potato sack and 3-legged races–for kids and adults!
• Bring your tools to build with the snow. We’ll provide some coloured water!

Musicians!

Do we have any neighbourhood musicians who would volunteer to to a set and help create a festival atmosphere?
