Earth Month volunteers, 2024.

Happy Earth Month!

On Saturday, April 24 Ritchie volunteers take on the litter in Mill Creek! Come and join us.

As all Ritchie neighbours know, we love our local ravine for running and cycling, playing with family, and exploring with our pups. We are all also familiar with the amount of garbage it accumulates over the winter. Yikes!

Come lend a hand in our annual spring cleanup to help tidy up Mill Creek Ravine so we can all continue to enjoy it!

Area of focus: west side of the creek/ravine from Whyte Ave to 76 avenue

• Meet at the hall at noon to pick up supplies, pair up for safety, and meet the other volunteers.

• Snacks served at 2pm for all the trash pickers!

• Enter to win some fun neighbourhood prizes (draws happens at the hall at 2:15pm).

• Shared supplies: garbage bags, gloves, and grabbers.

• Please dispose of all garbage properly in your personal garbage bin or in the dumpster at the hall. Do not leave it in the ravine.

• If you find large or hazardous items, please use 311 to report and request a pickup. Stay safe out there!
