Orleans, Ontario -- The Cardinal Creek Community Association (CCCA) invites local residents to show their community pride by cleaning up our local parks, public paths, streets and open spaces this Saturday, April 28, 2007 from 1:30 to 4:30 pm.
The CCCA-sponsored Community Spring Clean-up event is being held in conjunction with Capital Cleanup Day, part of the City of Ottawa's "Spring Cleaning the Capital" campaign running from April 15 to May 15, 2007.
Residents are invited to pick up their City-supplied garbage bags and gloves at various locations in the Spring Ridge, Oakridge Gate and East Village communities (Trim Rd area, between St. Joseph Blvd and Innes Rd). A listing of distribution centres is available at www.cardinalcreek.org/index.php?pr=Spring_Cleanup.
This event qualifies for high school students seeking to add to their Community Involvement Program volunteer hours.
The CCCA reminds participants to wear hats, pants and long sleeved shirts. The CCCA also cautions that children must be supervised at all times, and must never touch broken glass, broken wood, metal, needles, or household hazardous waste.
Following the clean-up, there will be free pizza and pop for all participants involved in the clean-up.
The CCCA would like to thank the City of Ottawa and Councillor Bob Monette for the financial assistance to make this event possible.
