Along with many other communities of the Ottawa area, the Blackburn Community Association holds an annual Spring Clean-Up. Please volunteer to help us out; we will assign you a small area of Blackburn for litter pick-up plus provide you with garbage bags and latex gloves. The litter and recyclables can be brought back to the Community Hall. This event runs on April 30th from 9:30 to 11:30 in the morning. Volunteers are then invited to a BBQ (including vegetarian options) to say thanks for all your ‘dirty’ work. The Ontario Covid-19 protocols will be in place.
This will be the first community event in Blackburn Hamlet since the Covid pandemic lockdown. This event is for everyone: whether you are new to the community or you’ve lived here for years; if you’re a high school student looking for volunteer hours; if you have children attending school in the area; or if you’re looking to get out for fresh air and sunshine after the snow of this winter has melted!
If you have any questions, contact the BCA Environment Committee at: cleanup@blackburnhamlet.ca.
If you take any photos of the event, please Tweet them (on Twitter) with the hashtag #ThingsArePickingUp or share them to the Blackburn Hamlet Community Association Facebook group for your chance to win a great prize!
