Still time to take part in Green Deer clean-up campaign

City of Red Deer officials say there’s still time for those interested to pitch in for the Green Deer campaign.

“We encourage all Red Deerians to get involved in Green Deer,” said Suzanne Jubb, Community and Program Facilitator. “The program continues through June 4 and people can volunteer as their schedules permit. So far, we’ve had a great response from the public, and registrants are enthusiastic about helping to keep Red Deer beautiful.”

Each spring, the Green Deer program focuses on cleaning litter in all outdoor areas of the city, including parks and green spaces, where litter accumulates over the winter months.

“When individuals, families and organizations come together to clean up the community, it not only has amazing results, it is also incredibly rewarding,” Jubb said.

Volunteers are encouraged to officially become part of the Green Deer program by registering at 403-309-8411 or in person at the Recreation Centre, G.H. Dawe Community Centre or Collicutt Centre.
