RED DEER- The Red Deer River Cleanup takes place on Sunday, June 9.

As part of the Green Deer campaign, the annual spring initiative draws volunteers from across the city to join together to keep the river, creeks, and shoreline litter-free.

Pre-registration is not required, but residents are asked to arrive promptly at 12:30 p.m. at the Kerry Wood Nature Centre to receive their cleaning supplies and to be assigned a specific area of the riverbank to clean.

Participants should wear appropriate clothing, footwear, and bring gloves.

“The more people who help out, the more area we can cover,” says Tanya Wells, Red Deer River Cleanup Coordinator. “The River Cleanup is a great way for families, clubs, and other organizations to get involved in keeping Red Deer clean and beautiful.”

A free barbecue will be held after the event back at the Kerry Wood Nature Centre, 6300-45 Ave.
