Pitch-In Canada Week (April 17-23, 2022)

Whereas hundreds of thousands of Canadians show their concern for the environment and their communities each year by participating In Pitch-In Canada projects to: reduce, reuse, recycle and properly dispose of waste; clean up and rejuvenate local neighbourhoods, green spaces, ravines, waterways and illegal dump sites; restore habitats; and to establish composting and recycling projects; and

Whereas Pitch-In Canada, a national, community-based, organization comprised of eco-action and community volunteers, believes that maintaining a quality environment and encouraging civic pride is everyone's responsibility; and

Whereas Pitch-In Canada encourages voluntary action to keep communities clean and beautiful and restore and maintain a healthy environment; and

Whereas the Town of Arnprior will be participating in Pitch-In Week from April 17-23, 2022. During this week, the public can pick up a free Park Clean Up Kit from the Nick Smith Centre to take with them to clean up our community. The bags will be picked up by Parks Staff in any of our public spaces by calling the Nick Smith Centre and informing us of where the collected waste is.

Now Therefore, I Walter Stack Mayor of Arnprior, do hereby proclaim April 17-23, 2022 as Pitch-In Canada Week in the Town of Arnprior, and invite all citizens in our region to actively participate in Pitch-In Week!

Walter Stack, Mayor
