The North Hastings Children’s Centre and the Algonquin Inòdewiziwin Child and Family Centre want to remove as much garbage as they can from Bancroft and surrounding areas.
Nicole Beaudin with the Children’s Centre says both groups are teaming up to hold a contest for families across the area. They want to remove 100 bags of garbage from families’ property and ditches by the end of May. Recently on Earth Day, they did a clean-up of Riverside Park, where they were able to collect several bags worth of garbage. Beaudin says you can email the Centre a picture of you and your family picking up garbage, and you will be entered into a draw for a $100 grocery gift card. She hopes to help teach respect for Mother Earth to children and adults and wants to far exceed the 100 bag goal.
