Adopt A Street Or Park

how to begin

Your business, sports organization, service club, school, community group or neighbourhood can become a “Don’t Be A LitterBug” Leader by adopting a street or park through the Volunteer Cleanup Program.

To get started, check and see if the area you wish to adopt is available and then click on the “Adopt a Park” or “Adopt a Street” button to register your group!

make the commitment

Commit to cleaning up an area that is important to you, such as a street that leads to your place of business, a park your children play in, or a road in your neighbourhood. By keeping this area clean, you will be promoting a positive image and discouraging litter.

The Volunteer Cleanup Program involves a two-year commitment with a minimum of three clean-ups per year. The City will support your group by providing necessary training, safety equipment, garbage bags and garbage collection.

get recognized

To recognize your groups' efforts, a special sign will be erected in your adopted location featuring the group's name and a Certificate of Recognition from the Mayor will be presented to the group at the completion of each two-year term.
