Clean the Community (SSCA Annual Litter Pick Up) signup sheet

Silver Springs Community Association is organizing a litter clean up on Saturday May 11th from 10am to 12pm. This will be a great opportunity to get to know your neighbours and to make the places we love, litter free! Sign up with friends, family or on your own. Pizza and refreshments will be provided to volunteers after the event. All kids participating will receive a certificate and stickers.

We will be picking up litter within the community but also in nearby Bowmont Park which we all enjoy! We have divided the community in 8 different sections (see map). Note that each group will be meeting at different locations as shown below. Make sure you show up at the right place!

Volunteer Needs
We will have 8 team leads to direct a group of volunteers in each area. Don't worry, we will equip you with a detailed map and set of instructions!
For each area we would like to have about 10 volunteers. This event is open to all ages and can be a great family activity. If you come as a family just put the adult's name and make a note that you will have kids with you.

Meeting Place
The different groups will be meeting at a location within the area they will oversee. Make sure you go to the location indicated. A reminder email will also be sent a few days before the event.

What to bring?

We will provide long-handled garbage pickers, gloves, garbage bags. But if you have reusable gloves that can be used, bring them along. One less pair of latex gloves in the landfill! Make sure you have good footwear and dress up for the weather.

This is a Community Effort
Did you know that all 3 elementary schools will help with this event by cleaning their yards ahead of our May 11th cleanup! Thank you to Silver Springs Elementary, St Sylvester and WO Mitchell! Also LDS and St Peters churches will participate by cleaning their grounds. Everyone can do their part by cleaning up around their house including the back alley. Let's make Silver Springs, litter free!
