On June 8, over 80 people joined Mayor Nenshi, Alderman Mar and Alderman Farrell on Stephen Avenue Mall, spending 20 minutes cleaning up Calgary’s City Centre. Decked out in bright yellow shirts, volunteers picked up cigarette butts and spruced up the streets. The idea was to encourage everyone to share the responsibility of making our city a clean and vibrant place. So even if you didn’t get a chance to help out this time, you can still share in this responsibility. Consider having your own mini 20 minute makeover (or five or 10 minutes, or whatever you can spare)! Grab some friends or co-workers and clean up a bit of the area where you work, study, or eat lunch. Not only will the area look cleaner, it will also help keep garbage out of our water systems. Lets show that we care about our city!
