The City of Quesnel has partnered with the Quesnel Downtown Association, West Quesnel Business Association, South Quesnel Business Association, Northern Health and School District 28 to host the 1st annual Community Clean-up. On Friday, May 4, students will be kicking the event off by picking up garbage around their school yards. Residents are encouraged to volunteer on Saturday, May 5 and help clean-up our community. Volunteers will move throughout public areas picking up garbage. The clean-up runs from 10 am to 4 pm.
Volunteers can meet at any of the following locations:
- Spirit Square (downtown)
- Baker Creek Park (West Quesnel)
- Staples (South Quesnel)
From there, they will receive gear (if needed), maps and instructions! If volunteers have their own gear (gloves, pick-up tools and Hi Viz safety vests), please bring it!
The Quesnel Clean Team will be moving though the areas prior May 5 to pick up any dangerous items and drug paraphernalia. If any dangerous items are found on Friday or Saturday, the Clean Team will be available to pick it up. Students and volunteers will only be expected to pick up garbage.
West Quesnel Business Association, with Domino Pizza, will be providing volunteers snacks and refreshments.
Quesnel Downtown Association, with Panago Pizza, will be offering snacks and refreshments. Also, for each returned bag of garbage, or recycling, they will be handing out one entry into a draw for $100 downtown bucks that can be used at any of the participating businesses in the downtown area.
South Quesnel Business Association will be providing volunteers with South Quesnel bucks that can be used at any of the participating businesses in South Quesnel.
