A lovely spring day and sixteen great community minded individual came out to clean up some of the trash lining our street. The oldest community member was over 70 years of age and the youngest five years old. We had three young women who was volunteering for a school project so we thank them for volunteering in their neighborhood. Many garbage bags were filled and one spirited young woman said she had filled four black garbage bags!
Numerous cleaners mentioned the number of Tim Horton coffee cups that they had picked up. We hit a number of hot spots on our clean up including Meadowgreen Park, Cahill Park, the Meadowgreen Recycle Depot, the corner of 20th and Ave W and the Confectionary at 18th and Ave W. After two hours of clean-up the volunteers celebrated their efforts with Tim Horton's coffee (LOL!), cookies and juice. Thanks for all your work!
Special thanks goes to Wendy and Fritz who spurred us on to having this clean-up after moving to Meadowgreen from British Columbia and wondering when our community was going to start cleaning up!

Also a thank you to the community members who joined us in our clean up efforts by getting outside and cleaning up around their houses, yards and down their blocks and back alleys. Every bit helps make Meadowgreen a great place to live!
