The City of Grande Prairie’s annual City Scrub event is back and residents are invited to clean up their community, clear away, and properly dispose of winter debris and litter.
Between April 2nd and 30th, residents are encouraged to spend 20 minutes picking up litter in parks and around their neighbourhood. After collection, litter can be disposed of in curbside garbage carts alongside regular household waste.
Grande Prairie Mayor Jackie Clayton says the City Scrub event provides residents with the chance to foster pride in their communities and ensure the city is clean and free of litter as we head into the warm season.
“Join us in making a positive impact by dedicating just 20 minutes to beautifying our parks and neighborhoods,” she says.
The city is providing free cleaning supplies during the event such as garbage bags and gloves to assist residents in their efforts. Supplies can be picked up at City Hall, Muskoseepi Park, Eastlink Centre, the Grande Prairie Museum, and the City Service Centre.
Large groups can coordinate a supply pickup with the city via email, and additional safety tips are available on the city’s website.
