Join Clean Green Beautiful in the 5th Annual Community-Wide Cleanup
North Bay, ON - April 16th, 2024 - Clean, Green, Beautiful North Bay (CGB) announced the launch of its 2024 season. North Bay citizens have collectively removed over 38,000 bags of litter over the past 5 years
The community-wide cleanup will take place on April 20th and 21st. The CGB team will be at Parker's Independent Grocers on Saturday, April 20th from 9am to 12pm to hand out bags for those wanting to participate.
Clean, Green, Beautiful biodegradable bags are free of charge and can also be ordered on their Facebook group or at cleangreenbeautiful.com.
"Since 2019, businesses and organizations have stepped up to sponsor our CGB bags and many of these sponsors are doing their own pickups with their employees, patrons and students, and getting involved in beautifying and greening their own spaces," said Hariett Madigan, CGB Chair.
The Clean, Green, Beautiful committee is asking for teams or individuals to send photos of their pick-ups to cleangreenbeautifulnb@gmail.com to post them on social media but also to include for the Communities In Bloom national judges to see when they visit.
City Councillor, Jamie Lowery, and Communities In Bloom lead for this year, announced that the national judges will be in North Bay from July 28th to 30th.
"We were able to achieve 5 Blooms in last year's provincial competition because of the volunteers within our community who worked with the city. It's about collaboration and we look forward to showcasing everything North Bay has to offer," said Jamie Lowery.
Clean, Green, Beautiful North Bay, now recognized as a non-profit organization, continues to work with sponsors and organizations for litter pick-ups, planting community gardens and orchards, and engaging in streetscapes.
