On Saturday morning, June 22nd, 17 volunteers, including six from the Saskatoon Open Door Society, met at Achs Park to clean up the parks and lanes in our neighbourhoods.
They used their own tools and vehicles to gather and haul a total of 220 kg. of waste, two tires and some metal, which was disposed of by Saskatoon Environmental Services. Volunteers noted a couple locations for further follow-up by the City.
QEXCA provided a thank you barbeque for the volunteers.
As well, we thank these businesses which donated to the effort:
Adam’s Lumber,
Early’s Farm and Garden,
Family Pizza and
Lai’s Auto Service
We look forward to watching this event evolve in future years.
