Earth Day – Cleaning the Capital

The Convent Glen Orléans Wood Community Association’s Environment Committee is having a ‘Cleaning the Capital’ event on Saturday, April 26th to celebrate Earth Day!

Each spring and fall, residents across the Ottawa area volunteer to clean and beautify their neighbourhoods as part of the ‘Cleaning the Capital’ Program. Since 1994, more than 1.4 million volunteers have participated in annual clean-up projects. Hard working citizens have removed an estimated 1,000,000 kg of waste from our public spaces. At last year’s event, 82 people helped collect over 75 bags of garbage.

Join the Environment Committee this year at the Convent Glen Shopping Centre, in the parking lot near Golden Fries bright and early to get started with the cleanup. Our backup day in case of rain or snow is the following day, April 27th.
