Mill Creek Clean-up |April 26 – May 3rd

Every year around this time, Strathcona Residents get together with our neighbouring community leagues to participate in the annual Mill Creek Clean Up. This is a wonderful event that brings many people together and has an immediate and positive impact on the ravine.

Unfortunately, this year, such a large organized gathering is not possible, but the ravine still needs the same love and attention as in previous years. This week, April 25 until May 4th, 2020, We would like to encourage those residents who are able to do so, to head out to the ravine over the next week and help clean it up while complying to all  social distance measurements.

How can I contribute to the Mill Creek Ravine Clean Up?

Take your own bags and gloves and pick-up what you can. Strathcona has been assigned Mill Creek Ravine North (the area north of Mill Creek Outdoor Pool Parking Lot).

Full garbage bags can be disposed of in City bins, or you can call or use the 311 app to schedule a pickup of bags, or to arrange disposal of any large or hazardous items.

Post a Picture about your clean-up effort

After clean-up is complete, show us your efforts with a picture. Post your picture of your efforts to social media before May 3rd, 2020, 11pm, and use the hashtags #millcreekcleanup and @strathconacl to spread the word! Not on social media? Email your picture before May 3rd, 2020, 11pm, to communication@strathconacommunity.ca
