Adopt-a-Park/Adopt-a-Road
Adopt-a-Park and Adopt-a-Road is a city-wide program that encourages individuals, families, neighbours, community groups, and businesses to take an active role in helping maintain a beautiful city.
Volunteers take on park or roadway cleanup projects to improve safety and promote a healthy natural environment by keeping the City clean, green, and free of litter.
Adopt volunteers make a commitment to cleaning up a park or roadway:
- A minimum of twice a year - once in the spring and once in the fall.
- For a period of two or five years to provide continuity.
Adopt participants are encouraged to perform the following activities:
- Pick up litter/debris
- Sweep sidewalks and pathways
- Pull minor weeds
- Report vandalism on public or private property
To acknowledge these important efforts, a sign presenting the name of the adopting individual or group is displayed on the park or roadway throughout the adoption period.
