Green (Red) Deer River Valley Cleanup goes June 10

Jun 3, 2023 | 1:18 PM

Calling all Red Deerians to Celebrate Canadian Environment Week (June 4-10) by Volunteering at the Green Deer River Valley Cleanup on June 10!

Formerly called the Red Deer River Cleanup, the Green Deer River Valley Cleanup will take place at the Kerry Wood Nature Centre from 12:00–3:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 10, 2023.

This annual spring initiative draws volunteers from across the city to join forces to keep our waterways clean and safe by spending the afternoon picking up litter near the Red Deer River and in the surrounding river valley.

Refreshments and prize raffle to follow litter cleanup! There will be over $1500 in prizes for volunteers; including two grand prizes donated by NOVA Chemicals. Each grand prize includes one full-size patio heater.
