Following last year’s tremendous success, the Cochrane Community Clean Up returns, bringing residents together to beautify our parks and green spaces. This family-friendly initiative takes place on Saturday, May 3, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and everyone is invited to participate.
Volunteers can pick up supplies at designated pickup/drop-off locations throughout Cochrane. Each site will have garbage bags and a clearly marked drop-off area for collected litter. Participants are encouraged to bring their own gloves and any additional clean-up tools they may need. Once the clean-up is complete, Cochrane’s Parks and Open Spaces team will handle the disposal of all collected waste.
Trish Kluane, Manager of Parks & Open Spaces, highlights the opportunity for larger groups to register in advance: “To ensure sufficient supplies, we encourage community organizations and groups to register with their group size and preferred clean-up site. Plus, participants have a chance to win an incredible prize - a free block party trailer booking and a $200 grocery gift card! The group collecting the most bags per person will take home this amazing reward. This event is not just about cleaning up; it’s about fostering community spirit, environmental awareness, and making Cochrane a better place for everyone.”
