Carlington Community Clean-Up!
With the snow finally melting and spring peeking around the corner it is time to think about lending a hand to make Carlington clean and spiffy!
Cleaning the Capital runs from April 15 - May 15 across the city and you can take part by organizing your own clean-up day. They provide cleaning supplies and other support so be sure to register your event online.
The CCA will be organizing a clean-up day at our adopted park - Alexander Park. No need to pre-register. Just show up and lend a hand!
Alexander Park Clean-up:
Saturday, April 25th, 2015
10:00 am - 12:00 pm
(rain date, April 26th)
Watch for the CCA tulips to come up at the Carling/Merivale triangle and consider lending a hand with maintenance. Email greening@carlingtoncommunity.org to volunteer.
