Taken from Chris Ecklund's post on the Allison Park Blog:

On Saturday April 21st as part of Operation Clean Sweep, Councillors Duvall and Whitehead (along with) myself took part in our 1st annual clean up of Upper James Street from the Linc to Rymal Road.

Approx 30-50 people came out and even the children came out and pitched in and filled many garbage bags.

I was very happy to be a sponsor and to help organize this event, many thanks to those that participated and also many thanks to the other sponsors, Tim Hortons, and the Courtyard Marriott Hotel.

Special thanks also to assistants Kim and Monique who pulled this thing together, family and friends and a BIG thank-you to the volunteers!
