BTEC challenging community to keep our city clean
There was plenty of trash talk along Railway Ave. on Wednesday as close to a dozen clients and staff of the Battlefords Trade and Education Centre (BTEC) braved chilly winds while collecting garbage in an attempt to keep North Battleford beautiful.
For over 50 years BTEC has provided day programs for individuals with intellectual disabilities in the community by offering education and resources to improve their quality of life as well as outings in the community.
“This is just a nice way for us to get out, get some fresh air and show people that we are functional, capable people with something positive to offer” said Shelley Mandin, direct support worker supervisor with BTEC.
Mandin said the group wanted to challenge the rest of the city to get out and clean up various neighbourhoods now that the snow has melted.
