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.
If you have any questions, contact the BCA Environment Committee at: cleanup@blackburnhamlet.ca.
