Clean-up Battleford; celebrate Earth Day
Now that the snow is melting, the streets are looking a little worse for wear. To help celebrate the new season, the Town of Battleford is organizing an Earth Day Community Clean-Up.
“It’s just a way, for me personally, to get people out in the community, get seeing each other again and then doing something together that is meaningful to all of us,” said Gwenda Spence, town receptionist who takes on event posting.
The inaugural event will be held on Mon., Apr. 22 and according to Jordan Schechtel, manager of Parks and Recreation, businesses, local community groups and schools have all been invited to take part.
“Anybody that wants to participate, they can get supplies at town hall, so garbage bags and gloves or you can just go out in your own neighborhood and pick garbage with your own supplies,” he said.
