Local students clean up their neighbourhood
Students from Queen Mary Community School lent a hand Thursday as part of cleanup efforts around the city this week.
Students from the school’s Grade 5/6 class were among those from a number of schools in the area to take part in the cleanup efforts during Pitch-In Week. Students from Westview Community School, Wesmor Community Public High School, and St. Michael Community School, also took part this week, joining Ward One City Councillor Charlene Miller in the effort.
Miller is among three local councillors who organized a cleanup as part of Pitch-In Week this year.
Students helped pick up litter, including straws, juice boxes, and candy and food wrappers from areas around the West Flat. Larger items such as furniture were also collected and deposited into large steel bins outside Parkland Hall.
