Over 120 Blackburn residents braved the cool temperatures and threatening rain to cleanup the neighbourhood at our annual Blackburn Spring Clean-up on April 26. Following the collection of lots of litter, everyone joined together in a BBQ. Prizes, generously donated by Rainer Bloess, were a treat for many participants.
Thanks goes out to all those people who helped in so many ways – organizing the BBQ, flipping the burgers, driving the pick-up truck, and registering participants. A special thanks also goes to local businesses for their support in providing supplies for the event — Loeb and Shopper’s Drugmart.
Most of all, a big thanks to the community citizens who took time out of their week-end to help make Blackburn an even better place to live!
