Spring is here, and trash is evident in the ditches, streets and fields around the community.
So, the time has come to clean it all up.
The City of North Battleford, along with its partners Downtown North Battleford, the United Way, No Frills and Tim Hortons, is hosting Clean Up Day 2016 on April 21.
City staff and volunteers across the community are being encouraged to pick up trash that day. The plan is for volunteers to gather at City Hall at 9 a.m. Thursday, April 21, where there will be coffee and cookies provided and routes assigned. Then the plan is for them to go off into the community to pick up the trash.
City staff plan to pick up trash along Territorial Drive, Highway 4 and Highway 16.
At noon there will be a barbecue at the fire hall, and afterwards the cleanup will continue until about 4 p.m. when all supplies will be returned at City Hall.
People at businesses and schools across North Battleford, or in their own neighbourhoods, are encouraged to take part on that day and clean up their own properties. Those planning cleanups that day who need garbage bags can contact the Downtown North Battleford at 306-481-6243.
