On Saturday, a number of volunteers did some backbreaking work along the Highway of Heroes. It was the start of the 2021 Spring Clean of the Highway of Heroes with military members, veterans, first responders, Silver Cross mothers along with families of the fallen soldiers, politicians and local citizens coming out to keep Ontario beautiful.
Twice a year volunteers from across Ontario come together to keep Ontario clean. The volunteers gathered at Toronto Road in Port Hope where the on and off-ramps are dedicated to Silver Cross Mother, Anna Loveman’s son, Craftsman Kyle Sinclair.
Road signs along the highway say that there is a $500 fine for littering but it often goes either unnoticed or they are ignored. All aluminum cans are all turned in to The Beer Store and the money donated to charity.
