Cleanups planned for P.A. Pitch In Week
With the snow gone and the weather getting warmer, city councillors are hoping residents will roll up their sleeves next week to help clean up their neighbourhoods after the long winter.
Pitch In Week starts Monday in Prince Albert. The annual event encourages residents to get outside to help clean up garbage. Several city councillors are planning community cleanups in their wards, and are encouraging residents to join them. Cleanups will be happening in Wards One, Two and Three.
This year marks the ninth-annual cleanup event in Ward One. Councillor Charlene Miller told paNOW volunteers will be meeting at Parkland Hall each morning next week to clean up the area. Students from nine schools in the city will also be taking part in the ward cleanups.
“I think it’s really good for our students to learn that they have to become a part of the community,” Miller said.
