Emery Village BIA Executive Director’s Message-March 2016

Sign up, pick up, make a change

Did you know that the City of Toronto has clean up programs all over the city?

Let April be the month our community, and all communities get together and make every park and street shine.

There are different programs available for groups and residents who have the time to give. It will definitely be the beginning of a wonderful and fresh spring if we all try to lend what we can.

To sign up or to get general information you can easily find what you need by typing in Toronto clean up days in your search bar.

Here is a snapshot of what you will see when you visit www.toronto.ca and search “clean up days.”

On Saturday, April 23 and Sunday, April 24 join thousands of Toronto residents, organizations and community groups and do your part to keep our city clean and green.

Taking part is easy as 1-2-3:

Step 1. Invite your group of friends, family and/or neighbours.

Step 2. Choose a park, laneway, shoreline or any other public space that you want to clean.

Step 3. Schedule your clean up.

Scheduling allows us to arrange litter pick up, approvals and avoid multiple groups cleaning the same location.

Emery Village BIA has been supporting the program since 2012 and hopes that the message of clean and green resonates with our area.

Happy spring and happy cleaning!

Sincerely,

Executive Director, Emery Village BIA
