“They did an absolutely amazing job, and it was wonderful to see organizations out, and all the people and all the kids,” she said. “I give a lot of credit to the residents, because they really stepped up, and they really embraced the week.” Mayor Marcel Roy agreed, saying the city looks really good now, particularly with the rain helping everything to green up. Coun. Ryan Janke, who had a challenge going with Coun. Laura Morrissette for the cleanup week, conceded that her team did a better job than his did. “My team got out there and did our very best, but she and her team outperformed us,” he said.
Due to COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions, this 2021 campaign encourages family or small group participation in neighbourhoods. The City is highlighting different neighbourhoods each day of the week, using its garbage collection areas: • May 10 – City crews focusing city-wide; May 11 – Area 1; May 12 – Area 2; May 13 – Area 3, 4 and 5; May 14 – Downtown. The City encourages residents to walk the streets in their neighbourhood areas and pickup litter. The City also hopes residents will take part in the 2021 Wey-Clean contest, and show community pride.
