Spring Clean Up 2017 Huge Success!

Thanks to everyone who came out today to lend a hand. On a beautiful morning, we had over 60 volunteers participated in the clean up of our community parks – Golflinks, Kilbirnie, Orchard, Stonebridge Trail and W.C. Levesque – and our community entrances!

A special thanks to Councillor Qaqish for providing the hot chocolate and coffee again this morning, with two volunteers to help out, and taking the time to stop by to thank volunteers for coming out
